This study presented the effectiveness of using WhatsApp Group Chat on vocabulary mastery for Indonesian students. The results showed that using WhatsApp was significantly effective in learners’ vocabulary mastery. Furthermore, using WhatsApp as a learning tool has been a positive experience for most participants as it has increased their motivation for learning. The learner and educator then would apply WhatsApp Group Chat in the teaching and learning process for any more aspects of English material.
