English vocabulary is crucial. However, students struggled with vocabulary. This study examined how the British Council for Teens website affected Senior High School tenth-graders’ English vocabulary. This website taught English vocabulary using topic-related graphics and audio. This pre-experimental investigation used a one-group pre- and post-test. The researcher used purposive sampling to choose the SMAN-1 Palangka Raya X-6 class. Data was collected via a short answer test. Pre- and post-tests were provided. The researcher circulated a questionnaire to assess the British Council for Teens website’s impact on vocabulary learning. The Paired Sample T-Test in SPSS version 25 was used to examine the data at 5% (0.05). T-test analysis accepted Ha and rejected Ho. Hence, British Council for Teens improved SMAN-1 Palangka Raya tenth graders’ English vocabulary. The British Council for Teens website’s favorable questionnaire result supported that. Consequently, this website was effective on expanding students’ English vocabulary.
