This research used experimental research with a quantitative approach. Eighty students were taken as the sample. 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.

This means that YouTube application affects 35% of students' vocabulary achievement. On the other hand, the TikTok application also significantly affects 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. In other words, based on the posttest results in the experimental 2 group, all students passed the KKM (100%). Thus, based on the hypothesis calculation, it can be concluded that TikTok significantly affects students’ vocabulary achievement. It is proven from tcalculating > t table or 2.469 > 1.683/.
