The use of technology in education plays an important role in language assessment. Teachers need to know the effect of student achievement and student perceptions in using tools in learning methods. This study aims to investigate Short Animated Video as a teaching tool, especially for writing narrative texts. This study uses a quasi-experimental design. According to the non-random sample group, the experimental and control groups were determined. To test it, two similar target groups were selected. To assess the effectiveness of Short Animated Video in teaching writing, the researcher uses a quasi-experimental design. To start the process, the researcher gave a pre-test to both the experimental and control classes. Short Animated Video is used as a treatment or experiment by researchers in one class. The first finding reveals that students' writing comprehension is taught using traditional methods. Researchers found that students were not active during the learning process and felt that conventional methods were monotonous. Meanwhile, students prefer to use visual and audio methods for learning, which is one of several things that show the results of the experimental group are more significant than the control group. Short Animated Video can be an alternative method for teachers and students in teaching narrative text writing in learning classes, especially if students feel that the traditional method is monotonous and has fewer activities. Short Animated Video has characteristics that can increase students' enthusiasm and creativity in learning English, especially writing comprehension.
