One Group Pre-Test Post-Test design was applied as the research design. The sample was taken from the tenth grade of 22 students in the Academic Year 2021/2022. The collected data were analysed using manual and spss t-test. It was found that the students' vocabulary skills before being taught using animated videos were low. Meanwhile, students' vocabulary skills after being taught using animated videos are quite good. The t-test value is smaller than the t-table (-21,224<0.05) which means that teaching vocabulary using animation video is very effective. At last, the paper proposed suggestions for teachers to use Animation videos in teaching vocabulary.
