This purposive sampling, quantitative study employed the Model of Student's Motivation framework to explore the impact of the TikTok application on enhancing students' speaking abilities. It involved four classes of mixed-ability one-year programme (PST) students, 2023/2024 Session at Pahang Matriculation College, Malaysia divided into two main groups: experimental (28 students) and control (35 students). The research utilised a speaking test and a questionnaire as measurement tools, with questions adapted from the 2023 Malaysian University English Test papers. Unlike the control group, the experimental group was taught using the TikTok application for three weeks. Data analysis was conducted using Paired Sample T-test. Results indicated a significant improvement in the post-test mean score (27.64) for the experimental group, indicating a positive effect of TikTok on students' speaking performances regardless of the students’ gender. Additionally, questionnaires were administered to gather more detailed insights into how TikTok contributed to the enhancement of students' speaking abilities. The implications of this research were the improvement of the students' speaking abilities by providing opportunities for creative expression and real-time feedback.
