Abstract

Background: Listening is a core component of second language development, yet students in English as a Foreign Language settings often struggle with fast speech, accent variation, and limited exposure to authentic English. Specific background: Social media, especially TikTok, has become a popular platform where learners encounter natural language use through short, engaging videos. Knowledge gap: However, little is known about how university students experience TikTok as a self-directed space for English listening development. Aim: This study explores students’ lived experiences using TikTok to support English listening skills. Results: Findings show that frequent exposure to authentic speech, short video formats, and interactive features such as duets and live sessions contribute to students’ listening development. Challenges arise from speech rate, accent diversity, slang, and algorithm-driven distractions. Students responded with self-regulated strategies, including curating content, replaying difficult segments, activating captions, and verifying information through external sources. Novelty: This study highlights students’ internal reflections and the role of algorithmic personalization as a source of individualized linguistic input. Implications: Results suggest that TikTok can serve as an informal listening environment that complements formal instruction and supports listening awareness, learning autonomy, and confidence among EFL university students. Highlights Students describe TikTok as a consistent source of authentic English input. Learners use self-regulation strategies to manage challenges and curate content. TikTok functions as an informal space that supports listening development and confidence. Keywords TikTok, English Listening Skills, Autonomous Learning, Phenomenological Study, Digital Learning

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the perception of Generation Z regarding the use of podcasts as a learning medium to improve English listening skills. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with a case study design and involves students from the English Education Study Program at Mulawarman University who are part of Generation Z. Data were collected through a closed-ended questionnaire analyzed descriptively, and in-depth interviews analyzed using thematic analysis. The results indicate that most students have positive perceptions of podcast use, particularly regarding ease of access, increased learning motivation, vocabulary enrichment, and the effectiveness of podcasts in supporting listening skills. However, some students faced challenges such as limited internet connectivity and a lack of experience in regularly using podcasts. Based on the interviews, it was also found that engaging content types, such as viral issues, education, and general knowledge, were the main attractions for students. These findings indicate that podcasts are a potential and suitable learning medium for Generation Z, particularly in the context of English language learning in the digital age.
