Three English teachers from one high school in Denpasar participated in this study. Data were collected through observation, a questionnaire, and in-depth interviews.

However, the teachers give alternative solutions for the teachers who face the same challenges, such as assessing students directly (face to face) in the class, preparing, and adapting to the spread of technology and curriculum. In addition, the benefits of TikTok based on teachers’ perspectives could increase students’ speaking skills, such as grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, fluency, and comprehension.
