The Use Of English Animated Videos To Improve Students’ Motivation

This study aimed to evaluate the impact of using animated videos on students’ motivation in learning English. This research was conducted at MTsN 4 Guhang using an experimental-based approach. Class VIII. 1 comprised 27 students as the experimental group, and the students of Class VIII. 2 were in the control class with 27 students. The data is collected by using a questionnaire consisting of 24 items, in the form of a Likert scale. Based on the results of the independent sample t-test, there was a statistically significant difference in students’ motivation between the experimental class that used animated videos and the control class that received conventional instruction. The t-test produced a p-value of less than 0. 001, indicating that the alternative hypothesis (Hₐ) was rejected. Therefore, it can be concluded that the use of animated videos effectively increases students’ motivation in learning English.
