Abstract
Abstract. This study investigates the impact of YouTube usage on enhancing the vocabulary of
eleventh-grade students at Vocational PN 2 Purworejo. This methodology employs a mixed approach,
incorporating qualitative data from initial and final interviews and quantitative data derived from
student test scores that explicitly address specific questions. This study demonstrates a substantial
enhancement after viewing the Vocab App-Learn English Words channel. This study examines the
utilization of YouTube by students to enhance their vocabulary. Descriptive qualitative research is
employed to analyze the data. The issue statement encompasses problem orientation, student
organization and learning, problem inquiry, results presentation, and problem-solving process analysis
and assessment. Data collection was conducted utilizing interview methods. This study emphasizes the
efficient and pertinent use of YouTube in enhancing vocabulary amongst restricted speaking
possibilities. Despite the positive findings, further research over an extended duration is advised to
examine students' YouTube utilization during academic learning. While this study suggests that
YouTube has a positive impact on vocabulary development among vocational eleventh graders, it does
not provide an in-depth look at long-term retention, learner autonomy, engagement levels, or
comparisons to other learning platforms or traditional teaching approaches. This study finds that
integrating YouTube into English language instruction fosters a more interesting and supportive
learning environment, promoting fluency and confidence in asynchronous learning.
