Abstract

The purpose of this study is to explore how speaking challenges on TikTok affect the speaking confidence of EFL learners. This study uses a descriptive qualitative method. The population of this study consists of EFL learners who actively participate in English speaking challenges on TikTok. The sample was selected through purposive sampling based on participants' accessibility and willingness to participate. Data were collected through open-ended questionnaires to obtain in depth information about learners' experiences and perceptions. The data were analyzed using qualitative descriptive analysis by categorizing the answers into relevant themes. Findings from this study reveal that speaking challenges on TikTok have a significant impact on learners' speaking confidence. The research results indicate several main themes, including the development of confidence through repeated practice, reduction of speaking anxiety, increased willingness to communicate, as well as improvements in pronunciation and speaking fluency. The opportunity to record and re-record videos allows learners to evaluate their performance and gradually build confidence. Additionally, students become more comfortable speaking in front of the camera, which helps reduce nervousness and fear of negative evaluation. However, some challenges are still encountered, such as limited vocabulary and social comparison, which can affect learners' confidence. It could be concluded that TikTok speaking challenges provide a positive contribution to improving EFL learners’ speaking confidence through continuous practice and supportive digital environments, although some challenges remain.
