This study aims to describe the effect of the Experiential Learning model assisted by the TikTok application on the ability to write anecdote texts among Grade X students at SMK Santo Paulus Medan. The methodology used in this study is a quantitative research approach. The study population consisted of all Grade X students at SMK Santo Paulus Medan, totaling 31 students. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling, in which Class X TKJ with 31 students was selected as the research sample. The instrument used was a subjective test in the form of an essay. After the treatment was administered, the mean pretest score was 64.84 with a standard deviation of 9.36, and the mean posttest score was 77.4 with a standard deviation of 8.21. The prerequisite tests indicated that the sample was normally distributed and homogeneous. A paired sample t-test was then conducted at a significance level of (α = 0.05). The results yielded a t-count of 5.66 and a t-table value of 2.000 (df = 60). Since t-count (5.66) > t-table (2.000), it can be concluded that there is a significant effect of the Experiential Learning model assisted by the TikTok application on the ability to write anecdote texts among Grade X students at SMK Santo Paulus Medan. The final scores obtained fall under the good assessment category. Keywords: Experiential Learning Model, TikTok Application, writing ability, anecdote text.
