    The subjects of the  study were 60 male and female teachers of English from Nablus schools, where the researchers used  a questionnaire of 30 items and distributed it among the subject of the study. The researchers used various statistical analyses such as the standard deviation , percentages T test  and One-Way analysis of variance  to analyze the results of the study.

    The results of the study showed that the impact of chat on students\' achievement was very high, in some items  and it was  high in other items  whereas it was  very low in only two items.
