Action research highlights that TikTok voice-over challenges improve English-speaking performance in grade 7 students, suggesting modern methods can enhance confidence.
English is the medium of education in the Philippines. Despite this, students’ English-speaking confidence and skills lag behind our neighboring nations. This can be interpreted as a call to action regarding our teaching strategies that may be outdated when compared to a technology inclined student body. This action research aimed to improve the level of performance and reduce speaking anxiety in English among Grade 7 students by using TikTok Voice-Over Challenges. The study utilized a classroom-based action research design, The chosen participants included 38 students selected through purposive sampling from one of the public secondary schools in Ozamiz City during the academic year 2023-2024. A researcher-made pre-test and post-test were used for data collection. Frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and t-test were the statistical tools used in the study. Before the use of TikTok Voice-Over Challenges, the students’ level of performance was rated as ‘poor’ but after the intervention the students had a ’very good’ level of performance. There was a significant difference in the student’s performance in English speaking. The integration of TikTok Voice-Over Challenges as a strategy is a valuable tool in enhancing the students’ oral performance skills and confidence.
