English as a second or foreign language is the use of English by speakers with different native languages. Language education for people learning English may be known as English as a second language (ESL). This systematic review incorporated qualitative document research and content analysis. Purposive sampling was used to look at the content of the papers chosen after a random selection of reliable and accurate sources. Sources from EBSCO, Google Scholar, Scopus, Web of Science, and ScienceDirect were utilized for this systematic review. The data indicate that English has a great reach and influence, and English is taught worldwide during the COVID-19 pandemic. Learners spend more time using social media to study English, and hearing is the skill that improves the greatest when using social media to learn English. Utilizing social media helps students acquire and practise new vocabulary words and reduce spelling errors. YouTube is the most popular social media tool for English language learners. This paper also looks at how vital to change and rethink strategies because English is also taught as a second language for recent immigrants to English-speaking countries, which faces particular challenges. After all, the students in one class may speak many different native languages.
