Indonesian students often struggle with English-speaking proficiency due to limited practice opportunities and lack of confidence. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a mandatory English Day program at SMA 90, where students were required to use English exclusively with consequences for non-compliance. A rigorous experimental design, incorporating both pretest and post-test measurements, was used to investigate the English Day program's impact. Seventy students were randomly divided into an experimental group participating in the program and a control group. Utilizing a structured oral test to assess pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, and fluency, significant enhancements were found in all areas for the experimental group after the program (p < 0.001), with an average improvement of 5.11 points compared to the control group. This study concludes that the mandatory English Day program is effective in enhancing English-speaking proficiency in non-native English-speaking environments. Keywords: English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners; English Day program, English-speaking proficiency

As a social media platform, TikTok has a lot of features that draw users in and may help students improve their knowledge and foreign language proficiency, especially in speaking. The purpose of the study was to find out how students utilized TikTok's English Conversations content to improve their speaking abilities and how they felt about the platform as a learning tool. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed in the study. Research instruments such as questionnaires and interviews were used to gather data from 13 individuals. Additionally, a thematic and descriptive analysis was used to collect the data. The results of the study revealed that 12 of the 13 participants were frequent TikTok users who utilized the platform for both learning and fun. In addition, 12 respondents said that the English Conversations material on TikTok enhanced their speaking abilities when questioned about the use of the content and its impact on speaking abilities. The study did identify several difficulties that the students had while using TikTok as a learning tool, though, including the fact that they were easily distracted by entertainment material, that the learning information needed to be more visually appealing, and that the length of the content was excessive. In order to facilitate comparisons, future research might benefit from the use of alternative instruments with bigger sample numbers. These studies may provide additional theories to evaluate if the results support the conclusions of the present inquiry.
