Abstract

This study aims to analyze and describe the use of English in public spaces as represented in videos uploaded to the TikTok account ‘English on the Street’. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected from 30 videos uploaded over the past three months. The analysis involved conversational transcription, data reduction, interpretation, and descriptive note-taking. The research findings revealed that the videos showcase authentic practices such as students, radio announcer, influencer, dentist, and other workers. These interactions highlight the contextual and functional aspects of English in everyday communication, workplace encounters, and cultural explanations. The study concludes that English on the Street content depicts how English is authentically applied in real-life public contexts, resulting in a variety of vocabulary and topics. This content demonstrates TikTok’s potential as a micro-learning medium that supports contextual learning in English language education.
