Living in today’s modern world, a lot of changes had happened in our daily life. This includes the evolution of our study method which has become more dependent on the internet, specifically learning via online platform. It was found that internet users spend an average of 2 hours and 29 minutes on social media worldwide on a daily basis. This is a great opportunity to include learning via social media to make the best use of the user’s screen time spent on social media, especially students. Therefore, the objective of this project is to bring English grammar learning to a social media application called ‘TikTok’ to help students who are having a hard time understanding in class. Aside from that, learning through TikTok is also free which makes it very convenient for students. In addition, learning through social media is much more fun as it is not too formal compared to traditional classrooms. This project also aims to create a safe learning environment for students to learn English grammar. The method used in executing this project is by recording the learning material, editing them according to the topics, posting the learning materials, and engaging with social media users through the comment section. It was found that students really enjoyed the TikTok English grammar materials and asked for more material to be posted.
