Abstract

TikTok seems to be the preferred option for young people, rather than other social networks such as Instagram or Facebook. This circumstance makes it a perfect tool to increase motivation and promote informal language learning as a complement to formal teaching at different educational levels. This paper presents the results of a teaching experience carried out with university students in the subject of English Language. Using the methodology of learning by teaching, the students created and published their own TikTok videos with small learning pills or nanocontents for the practice of English pronunciation. The results reveal the effectiveness of using both an environment and a format that the students easily identify with.
