LESSON DEVELOPMENT 
Who doesn‘t use social media these days? The amount of time people spend looking at 
phones or tablets is so high and growing every day. Now even the smallest children know how 
an iPad works and many have a smartphone of their own! 
When we want to talk to friends we log onto Facebook or WhatsApp and send them a 
message rather than going to their houses! Everybody is tweeting, posting and hashtagging. So 
here we have a list of the most common vocabulary and phrases to do with social media. These 
words will help to keep you up to date and in touch with the modern world. 
App 
An easy one to start, an app is a piece of software that is designed specifically 
for mobile devices such as smartphones or tablets. However, programmes on 
computers are now sometimes called apps. 
App is short for application and examples include WhatsApp and 
Facebook. You can download free apps and paid apps all for different 
purposes.
Blog 
Blog is short for Weblog (a word that nobody in the world says) and it is a 
place where you generally find articles or extended writing about a certain 
topic.

---

There is a blog for everything nowadays and many people have personal 
blogs just about their daily lives. 
Campaign 
A campaign can mean many things in English but we will focus here on the 
social media definition. 
A campaign in terms of social media means that a company or a website is 
trying to gain publicity on a massive scale. They do this by advertising to gain 
a bigger audience and usually make more money. These campaigns can be 
very expensive, but big companies and organisations still are able to make 
money.
