Abstract: In recent years, technology has had a huge impact on learning and teaching processes. TikTok is a technology tool that is prominently used by young adults. Vocabulary is the most essential component of a language, and learners can improve their vocabulary via this attractive tool. This paper investigates the attitudes of Saudi secondary school learners towards using TikTok videos in English vocabulary learning and how TikTok videos contribute to expanding English language vocabulary in Saudi secondary school learners. The study uses a quantitative method to collect data using a survey questionnaire. The participants consist of 50 secondary school students. The outcomes illustrate that students have a positive attitude towards using TikTok in learning English vocabulary. Moreover, students note that TikTok offers various features and options that assist in expanding English vocabulary.
