Social media is an application that uses Web 2.0 technology and gives users the opportunity to produce materials in various forms such as text, audio, and video that can be shared with other users. So indirectly, it can be used in learning a foreign language. Therefore this study aims to critically analyze and synthesize the research trends of foreign language learning through social media. Thus the Education Resources Information Center (ERIC) database was used to find articles related to the objectives of the study from 2017 to 2021. The PRISMA model was used in this study to meet the objectives of the study. An article search using social media and foreign language keywords through the database has found a total of 39906 articles. However, only 14 articles met the requirements and were selected for further analysis. Overall, this study has the potential to be further developed by researchers who are interested in the study of aging language learning research trends through social media with a longer study period and may also involve other languages.
