This study examines the effectiveness of TikTok-based learning in enhancing students’ English speaking skills. Speaking is a fundamental component of language learning; however, many students encounter difficulties such as limited vocabulary, poor pronunciation, and low confidence. In response to these challenges, integrating digital media like TikTok into classroom activities offers a more engaging and interactive learning environment. This research employs a qualitative approach to explore how TikTok-based learning activities support the development of students’ speaking skills. Data were collected through classroom observations, students’ video performances, and interviews. The findings reveal that TikTok-based learning significantly improves students’ pronunciation, fluency, and confidence. Additionally, students demonstrate positive attitudes and higher motivation during the learning process. Therefore, TikTok can be considered an effective medium for enhancing English speaking skills.
