internal factors that include individual emotions, attitudes, traits, biases, aspirations, concentration, cognitive processes, physical condition, values, needs, and motivations, in addition to external influences such as family context, acquired information, environmental knowledge and requirements, intensity, magnitude, persistence, and novelty or familiarity of the subject matter.
Internal factors, such as feelings, significantly influence TikTok usage, according to Ahmadi, who argues that feelingsAispiritual or mental experiences of pleasure or displeasureAi influence whether individuals engage with the app based on their emotional state.
External Factors: The TikTok app facilitates the rapid dissemination of information through shared videos about events such as shipwrecks, illustrating that social media identity is shaped by the creation, representation, and interaction of information-based content, according to Nasrullah.
Information significantly impacts TikTok utilization.
without knowledge of TikTok, individuals may remain unaware of its existence and fail to become users.
Thus, the role of information in shaping understanding and engagement with social media platforms like TikTok is crucial.
Media, derived from the Latin word Aumedium,Ay signifies a tool or channel of communication, and as Smaldino et al.

According to (Andriani, 2.
the digital era facilitates easy access to and sharing of information through digital media, leading to a shift in communication dependency.
Four key considerations emerge: message creation by all users, the diverse nature of unedited content, profit-driven dissemination strategies, and the potential for digital media to serve as a limitless source of information when used effectively.
Negative content, including fake news, pornography, and hate speech, is prevalent in digital media, necessitating vigilance to avoid harmful influences.

First, learning is flexible, transcending traditional boundaries of time and Second, digital media facilitates individualized study, allowing learners to choose their educational path.

php/konfiks A Factors for improving writing skills The findings of this investigation indicate that TikTok serves as an effective educational tool for enhancing students' poetry writing abilities.
This improvement is attributed to factors such as heightened emotional engagement and creativity, fostered through the freedom of expression afforded by multimedia, as well as the stimulation of imaginative capacities via the creation of visual poetry content.
Furthermore, the incorporation of technology into literary practice not only cultivates writing skills but also promotes digital literacy, while student interaction fosters a collaborative and appreciative learning environment.
The study revealed that students who actively engaged with TikTok demonstrated more performance compared to their less active or reticent peers, with several students expressing an interest in establishing TikTok accounts dedicated specifically to sharing poetry.

php/konfiks The writing process, defined by H.
Dalman as the activity of conveying messages through written language, and by Tarigan as a linguistic competence for indirect communication, gains a new dimension through TikTok.
This platform not only requires students to put their ideas into writing but also encourages them to think creatively in visualizing and voicing their poetry.
Furthermore, the finding that students become more motivated and inspired is in line with the internal factors proposed by Mulyana, where an individual's emotions, interests, and motivations influence how they use TikTok.
The platform provides freedom of expression, which in turn fosters students' confidence in digitally showcasing their literary works.
In today's digital era, learning that utilizes technology like TikTok becomes highly relevant.
As stated by Peter Fisk, modern learning is flexible and transcends the boundaries of the traditional classroom.
By integrating TikTok, learning to write poetry not only improves mastery of poetic elements like diction and imagery but also simultaneously hones students' digital literacy skills, a crucial competency in the 21st century.
Thus, the results of this study provide strong empirical evidence that adapting popular social media like TikTok in the literature learning process can be an effective strategy for improving writing skills while also addressing the challenges of education in the digital era.
DISCUSSION
This research shows that the use of TikTok media has a significant and positive influence on improving poetry writing skills among students.
The main finding, an increase in the average score 30 on the pre-test to 82.
60 on the posttest, is consistent with several previous studies that also confirmed the effectiveness of TikTok as a writing learning medium.
The study by Nabila Putri at MTS Al-Falah South Jakarta, for example, found that TikTok effectively stimulated students' creativity and ability in writing narrative texts.
Similarly.
Pramugita Widayan's research at SMP Negeri 5 Muaro Jambi showed a significant improvement in the ability to write procedural texts after using TikTok.
Research by Vina Auliana also supports this finding, where TikTok successfully improved students' poster writing skills with an average score of 83.
The results of this study strengthen the argument that TikTok, as a social media platform, has broad pedagogical potential for various types of writing, including poetry.
Theoretically, this success can be explained through several concepts.
TikTok as a learning medium, as described by Smaldino et al.
functions as an effective channel for conveying information between the source .
and the receiver .
Its interactive nature, rich in audio-visual elements, can overcome the boredom that is often an obstacle in learning Indonesian.
This is in line with Azhar Arsyad's view that interesting learning media can increase student engagement and creativity.
CONCLUSION
Based on the research results, it can be concluded that the use of TikTok media significantly improves the poetry writing skills of class D, sixth-semester students of the Indonesian Language and Literature Education program at Tadulako University.
This improvement is evident not only from the increase in the average score after the intervention but also from the increased enthusiasm and creativity of students in expressing their poetic ideas through an audiovisual format.

This finding has practical implications for educators to integrate relevant social media like TikTok as an innovative tool for literature The use of this platform has been proven to foster interest, motivate, and simultaneously sharpen students' digital literacy skills, in line with the demands of education in the modern era.
However, this study has limitations, as it only focuses on one group of students over a relatively short period.
Therefore, further research is needed to test the effectiveness of TikTok media on different writing genres, broader student populations, or to measure its long-term impact on literary and critical thinking abilities.
