| Abstract: | "TikTok" has become one of the latest trends in education and in the ELT field in general since this application seems to bring potential benefits to the English classroom context. Although some studies have suggested that using "TikTok" as a classroom tool brings potential benefits to the teaching context, scholarly literature on the field has also suggested that there might be some limitations when implementing "TikTok" within Second Language (L2) teaching and learning contexts. Considering these aspects, in this literature review, we discuss the possible benefits and shortcomings of using "TikTok" in ELT situations along with some implications. |
