Abstract:
The transition to online teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 has led educators to reconsider their teaching approaches and resources. A wide range of platforms and applications has gained popularity in the educational landscape. In light of its rapid expansion among younger generations, TikTok has the potential to become a valuable instrument for language learning. This paper explores not only the benefits, drawbacks, and challenges associated with the use of TikTok for language acquisition but also examines how Romanian students perceive the app as an educational tool. The research encompassed 55 Romanian nationality individuals who are engaged in the study of different languages, with ages ranging from 15 to 50 years, and come from various professional fields.
