Sử dụng TikTok để cải thiện kĩ năng nói tiếng Anh cho học sinh lớp 10: Một nghiên cứu hành động

Tóm tắt

Effective communication is crucial for success in today's interconnected world. As English has solidified its position as a lingua franca, proficiency in this language is increasingly vital for navigating diverse facets of life, from educational and professional domains to personal interactions and cultural exchange. Among core English skills, speaking stands out as a key competence enabling clear self-expression, meaningful dialogue, and robust interpersonal relationships. This classroom action research investigated the use of the social media platform TikTok to enhance 10th-grade students' English speaking skills at a high school in Hanoi, Vietnam. Data collection instruments included questionnaires, pre-tests, and post-tests, with t-test analysis showing the implementation of TikTok was effective, improving mean scores from 5.39 on the pre-test to 6.75 after cycle 1 and 7.90 after cycle 2, indicating TikTok created a more conducive learning environment for developing students' speaking abilities. These findings underscore the potential of innovative digital tools in fostering English language proficiency and suggest implications to integrate technology in language education to better prepare students for communication in diverse real-world contexts.
