Abstract

The rapid development of digital media, particularly TikTok has provided EFL learners with increased exposure to authentic English input. Many previous studies have reported positive correlations between social media engagement and language skills. However, these studies often measured intensity rather than frequency, and investigated listening or vocabulary separately. This study aimed to determine whether there is a significant correlation between the frequency of watching English TikTok videos and students' English receptive ability as measured by a composite score of listening comprehension and vocabulary mastery among eleventh-grade students at MAN 1 Kota Kediri. This research employed a quantitative method with a correlational design. The population consisted of 443 eleventh-grade students, and a sample of 85 students was selected using purposive sampling. Three instruments were used: a 20-item questionnaire to measure the frequency of watching English TikTok videos, a 20-item listening comprehension test, and a 20-item vocabulary mastery test. The listening and vocabulary scores were combined into a single composite score representing English receptive ability. Since the data were not normally distributed based on the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test (p < 0.05), Spearman's rank-order correlation was used for hypothesis testing. The findings revealed a Spearman's rho correlation coefficient of 0.083 with a significance value of 0.449 (p > 0.05). Since the significance value is greater than 0.05, the null hypothesis was accepted and the alternative hypothesis was rejected. This indicates that there is no significant correlation between the frequency of watching English TikTok videos and students' listening comprehension and vocabulary mastery. The correlation coefficient of 0.083 falls into the "very low" category, meaning the relationship between the two variables is extremely weak and not statistically meaningful. Therefore, increasing the frequency of watching English TikTok videos does not necessarily lead to better listening comprehension or vocabulary mastery among the students.
