Therefore, it can be concluded that there is a significant difference in students' writin skill in procedure text using the YouTube as an English language medium Research Discussion The data analysis above presents the findings of a study of using YouTube as a media of teaching English, especially in writing abilty. The study was conducted with a population of 235 students, and a sample of 33 students was selected for the study. The researcher selected one class as the experimental group, and pre-test and post-test assessments were conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of youtube in improving English writing ability. In the pre-test assessment, the students' scores were distributed across different ranges. In the pre-test assessment, the students' scores were distributed across different Three students scored 30, representing 9. 1% of the total, while 13 students scored 40, accounting for 39. Additionally, seven students scored 50 . 2% of the tota. , and ten students scored 60 . 3%). The overall mean score for the pre-test was 47. 27, with a median score of 50. The standard deviation was 10. 085, the variance was 101,705, and the range of scores was 30. The minimum score obtained was 30, while the maximum score was 60. The sum of all the scores amounted to 1560. The statistical analysis indicated that the pre-test scores followed a normal distribution, as the Asymp. Sig. -taile. was compared to the significance level of 0. and found to be greater, supporting the conclusion of normality. Moving on to the post-test results, the distribution of scores varied once again. One student achieved a score of 70, representing 3. 4% of the total, while four students scored 75 . 8%). Additionally, seven students obtained a score of 80 . 1%), and six students scored 85 . 7%). One student achieved a score of 86 . 4%), while seven students scored 90 . 1%). Furthermore, one student received a score of 92 . 4 %), and two students scored 95 . 9%). The post-test statistics revealed a mean score of 67. 88, a median score of 70, a standard deviation of 234, a variance of 104,735, and a range of 30. The minimum score observed was 50, while the maximum score was 80. The sum of all the post-test scores equaled 2240. A normality test conducted on the experimental class yielded an Asymp. Sig. -taile. value of 0. Comparing this value to the significance level of 0. 05, it was determined that the significance value . was greater than 0. leading to the conclusion that the average scores were normally distributed. The F-table value for this degree of freedom is 3. The F-counted value is 67. Therefore, we can conclude that F-counted = 67. 875 > F-table = 3. 99, indicating that the use of YouTube media is effective in improving students' writing ability in procedure text. The paired sample t-test was conducted to test the hypothesis about students' writing skill using YouTube as an English Language Medium. Based on the results obtained, the T-counted is 48. The T-table obtained from the statistical table by looking at the degrees of freedom . , which is 32, is 1. Since T-counted is greater than T-table (T-counted = 48. 853 > Ttable = 1. , it means that the null hypothesis (H. is rejected, and the alternative hypothesis (H. is Therefore, it can be concluded that there is a significant difference in students' writing skill in procedure text using YouTube as an English language medium. The utilization of YouTube as an English language medium has proved to be an effective approach in developing students' skill in writing procedure texts. A research study was carried out for a period of one month, during which students were requested to compose procedural texts both before This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4. 0 International License Bilingual : Jurnal Pendidikan Bahasa Inggris Vol. 5 No. 2, 2023 DOI : 10. 36985/jbl. e Ae ISSN : 2302 - 6596 and after viewing YouTube videos as part of their classroom instruction. Following this, their writing was evaluated using a rubric that assessed clarity, coherence, and accuracy. The outcomes demonstrate that the difference in writing skill between prior to and following the use of YouTube is notable and statistically significant, ruling out the possibility of mere chance. The data presents a significant enhancement in students' writing skills after watching instructional videos on YouTube. However, the sample size used in the research was small and other factors influencing the students' writing skills were not taken into account. It can be concluded that incorporating YouTube as part of the classroom instruction can augment students' writing abilities in regards to procedure texts. This method can be utilized by teachers by selecting relevant videos that model clear procedural writing and providing opportunities for students to write their own in response to the videos. IV. CONCLUSION Based on the finding and discussion above it is shown that. T-counted is greater than T-table (Tcounted = 48. 853 > T-table = 1. , it means that the null hypothesis (H. is rejected, and the alternative hypothesis (H. is accepted. This statement of hypothesis means there is a significant difference in students' writing skill in procedure text using YouTube as an English language medium. Incorporating YouTube as part of classroom instruction can augment students' writing abilities in regards to procedure texts. This method can be utilized by teachers by selecting relevant videos that model clear procedural writing and providing opportunities for students to write their own in response to the videos.
