I like to use Tiktok, facebook and instagram with my students using their interests, so I usually ask personal questions to find out what they like and then I surf online to find influencers that are native speakers and then check who fits my students' needs, finally I use those videos to practice listening skills in class and we check different pronunciation features that can make understanding difficult. So for me, it's a great tool to get a little bit closer to what listening in real life is, but it is really important to check the content first.

From my perspective, tik tok is an app that offers a lot of different content to people with varied interests. I like that the algorithm shows you the things you are more connected with, people that talk about the same topic but present it differently. I use it in class sometimes to learn about culture shock.

Many research studies have been published about the benefits of SNS in language learning. Vlogs and wikis may be other alternatives. There is a growing tendency to use video games and escape rooms that involve mental challenges to solve a riddle, a problem or a puzzle to suceed in the game.
