When the students talk, they often had short pause because they were effortful to decide and generate their ideas. Furthermore, the students were not confident to speak up in front of the class because they did not know how to pronounce the word correctly. Thus, the researchers tried to answer the problems above by using Tiktok stich video. The objective of this research was to prove that the use of Tiktok could improve students' speaking skills of the eight grades of SMP Negeri 1 Palu. Quasi-experimental research design was implemented including pre-test, treatment, and post-test. The population is 349 students. The researchers used purposive sampling to select the sample, VIIID as control group and VIIIG as Experimental group. After collecting and analyzing the data statistically, in pre- test, the mean score of experimental class was 41.88 and on the other hand, the mean score of control class was 52.81. Furthermore, in the post- test, the mean score of experimental class is 75.62 while the mean score of control class is 64.38. This result indicates that Tiktok stitch video improve students speaking skill in fluency and accuracy. Thus, it can be interpreted that teaching using Tiktok stitch video effectively increase students' speaking skill of the eighth-grade students of SMP Negeri 1 Palu.

One of them is by using Tiktok platform. Tiktok as an audiovisual social media contain many features and it can be exploited as a medium in delivering learning material. It displays many learning videos that can be authentic material either created by non or native speaker and http://u.lipi.go.id/1457703302 mailto:Afrillthe1st@gmail.com Tjiangrayudi B Alfaron, Aminah Suriaman, Afrillia Anggreni, Rofiqoh Tiktok Video: An Innovative Platform in Teaching Speaking Skill 476 also can reduce serious academic atmosphere (Duan, 2023). In improving English Skill, Tiktok offers a variety of options for this looking to enhance students’ speaking. It support students to acquire the right environment to speak (Gunawan et al., 2023). They can watch native speaker on Tiktok and thus they have a good model to practice their pronunciation. In addition, it contains subtitle video which help students to acquire new vocabulary and how to compose a sentence. Furthermore, it can increase students’ confidence in speaking English since they can express themselves freely on Tiktok (Mandasari et al., 2022). Therefore, this social media provides many benefits and opportunity for EFL students who want to develop their speaking skill. Regarding to the advantages of Tiktok in learning speaking and since it is most popular in recent students; the researchers are interested in solving students’ problem of SMP Negeri 1 Palu by using tiktok stitch. Most of the students still had short pause in the middle of speaking process because they were rigorous to choose and invoke their ideas that they want to utter. They were shy to speak because they were effortful to pronounce the words and it caused the students feel nervous and anxious. By looking at the features of tik-tok platform, it can overcome the students’ obstacles. Tiktok stitch is a creative video feature in which allow the students to interact with, collaborate, and communicate to other in unique ways. In this feature, the students can specific part of another’ videos to include in their own video or creating a flawless between the original video and the new content being combined. In addition, this feature gives students opportunity to create a conversation. Method This research implemented a quasi-experimental design, which divided into two classes, consisted of experimental, and control class. Both of them were given pre-test and post-test. However, only experimental was got treatment by using Tiktok stich while another used traditional medium. The researchers implemented speaking test and used a voice recorder as an instrument to collect the data from the students. Scoring rubric system had been used to help the researchers optimally assess the students speaking skill in which focus on fluency and accuracy. Numerical data was analyzed by using software SPSS 22. Furthermore, the sample of this research were students of SMP Negeri 1 Palu, in which VIIID as control group and VIIIG as Experimental group. The number of the students in control class was 32 and in experimental was also 32. The total of the sample was 64 students IDEAS, Vol. 13, No. 1, June 2025 ISSN 2338-4778 (Print) ISSN 2548-4192 (Online) 477 Results To know the finding of the research about the effectiveness of Tiktok in increasing students’ speaking skill, which focuses on fluency and accuracy, the researchers, presents the result as follow: Table 1.

Based on the hypothesis and decision-making criteria, the researchers decide that Ho is rejected and Ha is accepted. Therefore, the data statistically proves that learning speaking through tiktok stitch is better than conventional medium. Discussion Before implementing Tiktok stitch, the researchers found that the students speaking level still was relatively low. They still had short pauses or break in speaking and often used filler word. Furthermore, the learners were not confident to speak in front of the class because they were effortful to bring out their ideas fluently and accurately. Thus they were doubt and anxious to express their thought IDEAS, Vol. 13, No. 1, June 2025 ISSN 2338-4778 (Print) ISSN 2548-4192 (Online) 481 Putu Indra Kusuma, (2021) claim that anxiety comes as one factor because some Indonesian learners have issues such as conquering their nervousness about speaking in front of the class. Thus, the researcher implemented Tiktok to figure out students’ obstacles and upgrade their speaking skill. Through Tiktok students can express freely themselves. They are not shy when they speak on Tiktok because the researchers implemented Tiktok in fun way during the treatment. The researcher instructed the students to watch video from native speaker and made recount text video by using stitch video. This tool can display viewer comments in video replies. This can also encourage others to post comments as well as help students, to get feedback from teachers or other users. According to Durrotunnisa & Ratna, (2020)there is a lot of Tiktok content that contains very positive things, starting from education experts who convey their topic on Tiktok. Riyoko & Hera, (2024) state Tiktok as social media can encourage students to express themselves more through videos created by students and through the filters provided. Thus, it supports the students to enhance their speaking performance. Tiktok application is effective media to improve student’s speaking skill. The data prove that the majority of the students achieved “very good” score in experimental class after implementing this medium. It allows students to watch a good model or native speaker to speak accurately or allows students to practice their pronunciation. Tiktok can be also used to hone students' creativity, it helps students to express themselves freely. Tiktok is a platform that provide a chance for the EFL students to rehearse their oral English as well as native speaker(Xiuwen & Razali, 2021). Students can also look the subtitle from Tiktok and they can get new vocabulary for express their ideas. Tiktok is a valuable source to learn syntax, grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation(Novitasari & Addinna, 2022). The students can also regularly practice whenever and wherever because it is easy to be accessed, fun, reduce stress and anxious. Overall, tiktok is an innovative, entertaining and interactive medium that can help students to boost their speaking skill. Conclusion The purpose of this research is to prove that the use of Tiktok can improve students' speaking skills.
