This classroom action research consisted of two cycles with four stages that were planning, action, observation, and reflection. The learning media used was video taken from the TikTok account @learnenglishwithcamille. The results showed that students’ English pronunciation increased after using TikTok media. This can be seen from the results of observations at cycle 1 reached 45% in the “enough” category, 55% reached the “good” category, and increased at cycle 2 to 40% students in the category “very good”, 45% in the category “good”, and 15% in the category “enough”.
