The objective of the research was to determine whether using YouTube videos as a teaching tool to teach junior high school students how to write descriptive texts had any meaningful impact on their grades. This research used a quantitative approach, with a pre-experimental research design that included a pre-test and post-test. The average posttest score is 78.6, and the average pretest score is 88.6. The alternative hypothesis in this study is accepted based on the data analysis results since the t-test value, or -10.247 > 2.085, is greater than the t-table. The outcomes of the pretest and posttest imply a significant difference, suggesting that the use of YouTube media has an impact on the students' descriptive text writing abilities.
