The subjects of the research were 26 students in the tenth-grade of X. Accounting.1 at SMKN 1 Bukitkemuning, North Lampung in the 2021/2022 academic year. The instruments of the research comprise vocabulary test and questionnaires using quantitative approach. The design of the study was one group pretest-posttest. The data were analyzed using t-test. The hypothesis was accepted if the t value is higher than t table at the significance level of 0.05. The results show that the students? score in experimental class improved from the pre-test score (62.90) to the post-test score (77.30). The t-value of the test is 11.505, and the t-table for df 26 is 2.056. It can be stated that the t-value is higher than t-table. It means that there was a significant difference of the students? vocabulary achievement from the pretest and posttest after the students were taught by using English folktales based on the scientific procedure.
