A quantitative survey using social analysis is used to examine the role of social media in collaboration to learn ESL writing in higher education from students' perspectives. This study was conducted on 6 university students from Lahore region. The research includes two public schools and four private schools. All male and female students at six universities constitute the target group of this study. The scale is based on a five-point Likert scale ranging from strongly disagree to strongly agree. Demographic information includes the student's major, semester, and name. We used SPSS (Social Science Statistical System) to analyze the data. With the help of statistics, we can determine the frequency, mean and standard deviation of the data.
