%X Speaking  skill  is  often  considered  one  of  the  most  challenging  skills  for  learners, perhaps due to the trial and error nature of speaking shunning shy and unconfident second/foreign language (L2) learnersof English.In the meantime, Instagramraises as  one  of  the  most  popular  social  media  platforms  among  the  young  generation, including  L2  learners.  Hence,  thepresent  study  aimed  to  investigate  non-English major learners’attitudes toward the use of Instagramto practice speaking in English. This study involved 102Indonesian active Instagramuser learner participants across Indonesia in an online survey. Through descriptive statistics on SPSS 25, the study found that  the  participants  generally  had  positive  attitudes  towards  the  use  of Instagram to practice speaking in English. Nonetheless, even though they considered Instagram a good platform to practice speaking, they were slightly less motivated to actually use it for learning purposes. These findings call for teachers to channel the popularity of Instagram among learners and their familiarity with it for L2 learning purposes through class instruction.
