Abstract
This article explores the pedagogical potential of social media platforms,
specifically TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube, in developing English speaking skills.
Unlike traditional methods, social media provides learners with exposure to "authentic
language" and "shadowing" opportunities. The study analyzes how micro-learning
through short-form videos contributes to fluency and phonetic accuracy. It evaluates
the shift from formal classroom settings to autonomous digital learning environments
and discusses the reduction of Foreign Language Speaking Anxiety (FLSA) through
consistent digital interaction.
