This study explored fourth-semester students’ perceptions of TikTok for English learning in the English Education Study Program at Universitas Muhammadiyah Palu. Ten students completed a 15-item questionnaire, and three participated in semi-structured interviews. Questionnaire responses were summarized using frequencies and percentages, while interview data were organized thematically. The findings indicate a generally favorable but conditional perception. Eighty percent of respondents reported using TikTok for learning when they found relevant content, 80% considered English-learning content very easy to find, and all respondents regarded the search feature as helpful. Students valued short audiovisual videos and interactive functions, but reported difficulty filtering content, distraction, advertisements, unstable internet access, and inconsistent creator responses. The study suggests that TikTok may serve as a supplementary resource when students use it purposefully and critically. Because the sample was small and the data were based on perceptions, the findings do not demonstrate improved English proficiency.
