When the structure and function processes of the tourism sector are examined, it can be seen the tourism actors who spend the most time with tourists are the tour guides. Therefore, the education and personal development of tourist guides should be well-qualified. This study examines the effects of social media on foreign language education which is an important field for tourist guide candidates. The study was designed according to the quantitative method and descriptive survey model. Within the scope of the study, 322 questionnaires sent to the tourist guide candidates and the data were evaluated in accordance with the analysis. It concludes tourist guide candidates spend a significant amount of time every day on social media. They declare the posts about foreign language learning on social media affect their perceptions. Based on the results of this study suggestions are made to tourist guide candidates.
