Abstract

TikTok has quickly become one of the most widely used short-form video platforms worldwide, and its presence in language learning continues to grow. Although many digital-native learners engage with the platform daily, there is still limited research that brings together its pedagogical strengths and structural challenges in a systematic way. This study examines how TikTok can be integrated into language-learning contexts and what factors may limit its effective use. A systematic review of twenty peer-reviewed studies published between 2022 and 2024 was conducted to capture recent developments in post-pandemic digital learning. The selected studies focused on TikTok’s use in formal or semi-formal language-learning settings and were analyzed using qualitative thematic synthesis. The findings show that TikTok’s short-form and multimodal features support vocabulary development, speaking practice, pronunciation awareness, and learner engagement. Its brief and repeatable content encourages frequent exposure to language input. However, the platform’s entertainment-driven algorithm, limited capacity for deeper explanation, unequal digital access, and varying levels of teacher readiness pose challenges for structured classroom integration. Overall, TikTok offers meaningful pedagogical value when used intentionally within clear instructional frameworks. Its effectiveness depends on thoughtful alignment with learning objectives and careful integration into broader teaching strategies.

Abstract

Scenario-based learning (SBL) is a teaching method that uses real-life simulations to help students develop practical skills and apply their knowledge in relevant and realistic contexts. This study aims to explore the impact of implementing scenario-based learning in English for Nursing, with a focus on improving students’ communication skills. The research used a qualitative approach, conducting in-depth interviews with 41 students from Akper Kesdam I/Bukit Barisan Padang who had participated in scenario-based learning. Data were collected to identify changes in students’ confidence, language anxiety, and their ability to apply medical communication in real-world situations. The findings indicate that scenario-based learning significantly improved students’ confidence in using English for communication, reduced language anxiety, and deepened their understanding of the importance of clear communication in emergencies. The scenarios provided practical experience that helped students bridge theory with real-life applications, better preparing them for urgent medical situations. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that integrating scenario-based learning into English for Nursing is effective in preparing nursing students to address communication challenges in medical settings and in improving patient care quality.
