Abstract
The popularity of TikTok as an English learning platform has received much attention from the young generation, including the young generation of English for Foreign Language (EFL) learners, in this digital and AI era. One English learning platform gaining more interest nowadays is TikTok for TOEFL education content that offers quick and easy access, interactivity, and diverse methods for TOEFL exam preparation. However, little has been done to understand the EFL learners' perceptions toward the benefits of using TikTok to support their TOEFL exam preparation. This qualitative research study explores EFL learners’ perceptions regarding the use of TikTok educational content in supporting TOEFL exam preparation. The study used a questionnaire and an interview as data collection instruments. The findings showed that the contents contained simple short explanations and extensive exercises, which helped EFL learners have a better understanding of the TOEFL exam.
