This study explores the process of using mobile discussion as an interactive channel in the context of English education to overcome teaching and learning difficulties and to adapt to a new learning community. This study was conducted as a classroom study, and data was collected through various methods such as open survey, personal interview, and mobile discussion. Data analysis was conducted using a continuous comparison method that combined qualitative and quantitative analysis. The results of the study are as follows. First, pursuing double majors in the department of English education was found to increase the inability to adapt to the new educational environment in areas such as learning activities, cultural shock and social activities. Second, SNS-based community discussion (Kakao Talk) provided opportunities for interaction among members to facilitate the learning socialization process for dual majors. Specifically, the "complete sequence of interaction" led to meaning negotiations nearly tripling over the course of a semester for group members. Third, dual majors actively induced support behaviors in existing members from a beginner's point of view, and under the most common discussion pattern, 'novice Question-Proficient Response', assistance activities were actively carried out for multidisciplinary majors. This study suggests that in order for dual majors to successfully settle in a new learning community, further research is needed in instructional models that incorporate mobile channels into classroom teaching in various ways.
