The study looks at how joining live video chats with native English speakers on TikTok helps people who are learning English feel more ready to talk in English and less nervous about it. This study looks at EFL students who join TikTok live sessions. The researcher wants to understand how confident and nervous the students feel when they communicate. He uses qualitative research methods to do this. The study shows that using TikTok in a fun and calming way could help people learn a new language and reduce feelings of worry. This is helpful for teachers and language experts who want to use social media to help people learn languages.
