They were divided into 40 students for the experimental 1 group and 40 students for the experimental 2 group. The data was collected from observation, interviews, and vocabulary tests. Based on the results, it was found that YouTube applications significantly affect the students’ vocabulary achievement.

In the pretest results, only four students (10%) who passed the KKM. However, in the posttest results, the students got around 90% improvements.

It means that Ho is rejected and Ha is accepted.
