Abstract: Vocabulary is one of the three essential components of the English language for mastering all skills. When the number of recognized words is insufficient, listening and reading comprehension suffers. A study was done at the Noble Private Technical Institute (NPTI) to assess the influence of animated videos on vocabulary learning in an effort to improve students’ vocabulary. Forty students participated in an experiment designed to test the main hypothesis, which posits that students who are taught through animated videos demonstrate significant gains in vocabulary mastery and learning results. The data were subjected to paired sample t-test and assessed statistically. The majority of students in this study agreed that animated videos aid in assimilation, make studying more interesting, aid in vocabulary development, and make English learning more productive. Also, the results of this study suggest that watching animated videos improves students’ comprehension and assimilation of terminology.
