In the digital transformation era, social media has become a potential medium to support educational processes, especially in foreign language learning. TikTok, as a short-form video platform, offers an engaging, interactive, and accessible approach to learning. The “Fun English Learning with TikTok” project was a digital content development initiative by students of the English Education Program, Faculty of Tarbiyah and Teacher Training, UIN Fatmawati Sukarno Bengkulu. The objective was to increase learners’ interest and motivation in studying English through short educational videos on TikTok. This activity employed a qualitative descriptive method with a participatory approach, where students were directly involved in producing and publishing content. A total of six videos were uploaded over the course of two months. The evaluation results indicated that the content reached more than 2,000 viewers and received positive audience feedback. These findings suggest that TikTok can serve as an effective alternative medium for English learning beyond the formal classroom.
