Abstract


Abstract—The students assume that writing a descriptive text in English is very difficult. Most students lacked the vocabulary and had difficulty using English grammar. The researchers use video animations as a medium to arouse students' interest in learning to write in English. Animation has many advantages, such as making learning more straightforward and more exciting and can improve the quality of learning outcomes. This type of research is experimental research. There are three steps to conducting this research; Conducting a pre-test, providing treatment, and a post-test. The experts performed the validation of the test questions. Based of the data analysis results, the experimental class's mean score was 59 in the pre-test and 88 in the post-test. At the same time, the mean score of the control class was 52 in the pre-test and 65 in the post-test. The results of the t-test using the independent t-test in SPSS 26.0 show that the T-count analysis is 8.901 ˃ 2.000. It is known that the t-count ˃ t-table. While the significant value of the analysis is 0.197 with sig (2-tailed) 0.000, the significance is less than 0.05. The results of this study are that animated videos are more effective than direct methods.
