English is one of the essential subjects for today’s learning. Learning that integrates elements to help students in understanding the basic rules or grammar of English language is advisable to be applied, including by integrating the use of social media. Many extensive researches on various aspects of online English language learning have been conducted in the past studies. However, there has been limited focus on integrating social media in primary school English language learning. Therefore, this study aims to examine the methods and advantages gained from the integration of social media in primary school English language learning. This systematic literature review incorporates five selected articles that underwent a selection and exclusion process based on the guidelines provided by PRISMA 2020. The study results indicate that informal methods are more commonly used for integrating social media into English language learning. Additionally, the study highlights the advantages gained by teachers and students through the integration of social media in English language learning.
