Moreover, the students also have problems in understanding the written and spoken ideas in terms of reading and listening. Because of the importance of vocabulary, it requires teaching and learning process with a suitable media that invites students‟ participation. Wattpad Application is a media - based IT offers relax and pleasant atmosphere that can support students learning. The study was done to verify whether or not the use of Wattpad was effective to teach students‟ vocabulary mastery. The formulation of the research problem was “Is there any significant difference vocabulary mastery of the students‟ taught by using Wattpad Application and those taught by using a conventional method?”. Research method: 1) the research design of this study was Quasi experimental with quantitative approach, 2) the population of this study was first grade students of SMAN 1 Karangan Trenggalek, 3) the samples were X IPA 2 class consisted of 36 students and X IPA 4 class consisted of 36 students which were selected by using purposive sampling, 4) the research instrument was test, 5) the data analysis was using independent T-test. The finding showed that Wattpad Application was effective to improve vocabulary mastery of the students in experiment group. The effectiveness of the Wattpad Application can be shown in the following descriptions: 1) the mean score of experimental group in pre-test was 50.56, and after being taught using Wattpad Application the mean score of post-test was 77.36. The difference gained of the mean score was 26.8. 2). Meanwhile the mean score of control group in pre-test 43.75, and after being taught using conventional the mean score of post test was 59.17. The difference gained of the mean score was 15.42. From the difference the gained mean score between pretest and post-test of the two groups, it revealed that the experimental group got better improvement of the mean score. 3) the result of computing the mean score of post-test of the two groups using independence t-test at significance level of 0.05 showed that the significance values (sig-2 tailed) was 0.00 smaller than 0.05 (0.00 < 0.05). The result indicated that there was significant different mean score in vocabulary of the experimental group taught using Wattpad Application and those taught by using conventional method. Consequently, Null hypothesis saying that there is significant difference mean score in vocabulary of the students taught by using Wattpad Application and those taught by using a conventional method at the first grade of SMAN 1 Karangan was rejected and Alternative hypothesis saying that there is nosignificant difference mean score in vocabulary of the students taught by using Wattpad Application and those taught by using a conventional method at the first grade of SMAN 1 Karangan was accepted.
