dc.description.abstractThis research delves into the perspectives of 1st Year students at Espoch - Sede Orellana regarding the utilization of TikTok as a mobile-assisted language learning (MALL) tool within and beyond the classroom. With the aim of comprehensively exploring this innovative approach, a multifaceted methodology was employed. The study involved 30 participants aged 18 to 24, possessing English language proficiency levels spanning CEFR A2 to B1. Quantitative data were amassed through structured questionnaires, enabling a quantitative assessment of students' attitudes, motivations, and linguistic competencies. Qualitative insights were procured via semistructured interviews and classroom observations. Preliminary results divulged nuanced student attitudes, with a majority showcasing positive inclinations towards TikTok integration in language learning contexts. Motivations included the platform's accessibility, interactive features, and engagement potential. Moreover, qualitative data unearthed multifaceted experiences, with students highlighting the platform's ability to enhance listening comprehension, vocabulary acquisition, and cultural awareness. The study uncovered that students perceived TikTok as a versatile tool fostering autonomous language learning beyond the classroom confines. This research contributes to the evolving discourse on MALL, emphasizing the significance of aligning digital resources with students' preferences and learning styles. By bridging pedagogical theory with contemporary digital platforms, educators can craft more engaging and effective language learning experiences. These findings underscore the need for educators to integrate platforms like TikTok purposefully, harnessing their potential to cultivate language proficiency and digital literacy.
