Abstract


The use of appropriate media is one of the factors that influence the success of learning. English subtitled videos are media that combine audio and visuals to deliver material, making it easier for students to acquire new vocabulary. This research aims to determine whether the use of English subtitled videos makes a significant difference for students learning English vocabulary. Subtitled videos can be an alternative medium to teach vocabulary and should be commonly utilized in the current era due to technological advancements. This research uses a quantitative design with a onegroup pretest-posttest. The population consists of fifth-grade students at SD Negeri 4 Troso Jepara in the 2024/2025 academic year, totaling 27 students. The researcher employs saturation sampling. The research instrument is a test. To collect the data, the researcher conducts a pre-test, provides treatment, and administers a post-test. Data analysis includes a normality test, reliability test, and hypothesis test. The results show that using subtitled videos to teach vocabulary resulted in significantly different scores. The researcher applied the Wilcoxon signed-rank test to test the hypothesis. The p-value score is 0.001, which is lower than 0.05, indicating a significant difference. In conclusion, using subtitled videos to teach vocabulary has a significant impact. Subtitled videos capture students' interest and attention, improving their understanding of the material and aiding vocabulary acquisition.
