Abstract
This study examined the possibilities of employing the TikTok application as a tool for extramural learning in enhancing the oral communication skills of Senior High School students. Using a descriptive- correlational research, the study employed the use of an adopted Student Oral Language Observation Matrix (SOLOM) to determine the level of oral communication proficiency of the respondents before and after the intervention, TikTok links to be watched for intervention, and list of guide questions for Focus Group Discussion (FGD) to collect feedback from the respondents’ perceptions in the development of oral communication through TikTok. The initial level of oral communication proficiency of the respondents was determined to be at an intermediate fluency both before and after the intervention. Statistical analysis revealed no significant differences in the oral communication proficiency of the respondents before and after the intervention. However, feedback garnered from focus group discussions indicated positive responses from the participants towards the use of TikTok as a learning tool. Despite the absence of a notable improvement in oral communication proficiency in post intervention, the favorable feedback from the Focus Group Discussion (FGD) suggested a promising outlook for the potential efficacy of TikTok as an educational tool. The findings of this study serve as a foundational exploration in crafting a comprehensive learning plan that leverages TikTok to enhance oral communication skills among Senior High School students. Further research, practical recommendations and refinement of strategies may be warranted to optimize the utilization of TikTok into language learning programs.
