The integration of digital technology in language learning has opened up new opportunities to develop students' speaking skills. This study aims to investigate the effect of TikTok assisted learning on the speaking performance of vocational high school students majoring in hospitality. Using a quantitative quasi-experimental method, two groups were involved: an experimental group exposed to flipped classroom learning using the TikTok account @jagobahasa.com and a control group using traditional methods. Pretest and posttest data were collected through a speaking role-play activity based on the theme of hospitality. The findings showed a significant improvement in students' speaking ability in the experimental group, as confirmed by Mann-Whitney U test with p value <0.05. The use of TikTok videos contributed to increased student engagement, vocabulary acquisition and confidence in speaking. This suggests that incorporating a short video platform into English language learning can improve EFL students' speaking skills. This study highlights the potential of TikTok as a meaningful tool in vocational education settings and encourages further exploration of social media in language pedagogy.References
