In contrast, TikTok positively correlates with in-school anxiety, meaning those who consume more TikTok content are more anxious in EFL classes. A possible explanation may be that TikTok is a more solitary activity and is less interactive than other social media platforms, such as Facebook or Instagram. As Bhandari and Bimo (2020: n.p.) point out, in the case of TikTok, “the crux of interaction is not between users and their social network, but between a user and what we call an ‘algorithmized’ version of self.” Opening TikTok results in being presented with a stream of videos compiled by an algorithm, and no communication is necessary between the user and the content provider. This kind of interaction is completely different from EFL classroom interactions, as in classes, students have to interact with both the teacher and their peers. Table 36.
