Abstract

This comprehensive document explores the integration of digital streaming platforms, specifically TikTok and Discord, in English language teaching with a focus on learning outcomes. Drawing insights from Bloom's Digital Taxonomy, UNESCO's ICT Competency Framework, and the Gratification Theory, the study investigates the impact of incorporating these platforms on instructional strategies. The research analyses a series of lessons that integrate TikTok videos as authentic learning resources, in addition to the use of Discord as a medium for interaction. The findings highlight the alignment of lessons with Bloom's Digital Taxonomy, the relevance of UNESCO's ICT Competency Framework, and the potential of digital streaming platforms in teaching. This research contributes to the ongoing exploration of innovative teaching approaches that harness the power of technology to enhance language learning experiences.
