Abstract

This study examined the effect of using TikTok on improving vocabulary mastery among seventh-grade students. A quantitative approach with a pre-experimental design was employed, involving 31 students selected through random sampling. Vocabulary mastery was assessed through pre-test and post-test instruments focusing on three aspects: pronunciation, spelling, and meaning. Prior to the treatment, a pre-test was administered to measure students’ initial vocabulary ability. The treatment was conducted in four instructional meetings by integrating TikTok videos into vocabulary learning activities, followed by a post-test to measure students’ progress. The results indicated a significant improvement in students’ vocabulary mastery after the implementation of TikTok. The mean score increased from 71.45 in the pre-test to 89.19 in the post-test. The N-Gain score reached 0.66, categorized as moderate improvement. Further analysis using a paired sample t-test revealed a statistically significant difference between pre-test and post-test scores (p < 0.05), indicating that the use of TikTok had a positive effect on students’ vocabulary mastery. These findings suggest that TikTok is an effective and engaging learning medium that supports vocabulary acquisition through its audiovisual features and enhances students’ motivation in learning English.

Abstract

Many students who are learning English as a Foreign Language (EFL) now use digital technology. YouTube is one of the easiest places to find real language input. There are videos with subtitles and natural spoken English. This study aims to analyze the linguistic features of authentic spoken English found in YouTube subtitles and explore their potential use in the creation of EFL learning resources. A qualitative descriptive methodology was utilized to examine selected YouTube videos with English subtitles, seeking to identify common traits of spoken discourse. The analysis revealed that the conversation exhibited numerous characteristics of natural discourse, including discourse markers, fillers, contractions, and informal language. These parts show how spoken English is natural and interactive, which is something that most textbooks don't have. The results show that YouTube subtitles can be helpful tools for students who want to learn how to speak English in real life.
