Impact of (X) Twitter Spacing on the Communicative Competency of Pakistani People

Abstract

The present study is conducted to understand the impact of  Twitter Spacing on the communicative competency of the people. Twitter Spacing is the channel of the audio links where two or more people converse. The study is descriptive and is conducted to understand the communicative competency of Twitter users. The quantitative research adopted Wiemann’s communicative competency measuring model (1977), which consisted of 36 different questionnaires. These questions were modified according to Twitter Spaces. One hundred and five participants responded to the questionnaire, and the collected data was analyzed through SPSS version 25 to find mean and standard deviations. The results of the study show that Twitter Spacing has a high impact on people’s communicative competency. People interact to share their knowledge, observations, and concerns in their native or contact language. The study found that male people are more likely to interact with others and provide Space for others to interact on X Spaces. The study recommends that  Twitter Spacing can also be used for cross-cultural communication, foreign language competency, and identity construction.
