hosen, and text organization. Some teachers only give their attention on giving assignments rather than helping students to know the steps of writing. The existence of media in teaching and learning writing helps students to portray the context background so that they are interested in understanding the topics. Videos and photovoice are the example of media in teaching writing. Explanation text is kind of text that answer the idea of what, why, and how something happens. It also trains the student to think critically. The research aims to investigate the effectiveness of using videos and photovoice on the eleventh grade students‟ writing explanation text achievement. This research is an experimental research in the form of quasi-experimental design which involves 70 students of MAN 1 Banyuwangi in 2020/2021 academic year. XI MIPA 1 as the control group and XI MIPA 2 as the experimental group. These two groups were proved on the same level of writing ability by the score of pre-test. There were six meeting in this research, a meeting for pre-test, four meetings for the treatment through E-Learning Madrasah, and a meeting for post-test. The data obtained were analyzed by using independent t-test formula. The result showed that the t-value = -2.729, p =.008 and the results indicated that there is significant difference after having treatment by using videos and photovoice since p =.008 is less than 0.05. Based on the result of data analysis, the eleventh grade students of MAN 1 Banyuwangi who were taught by using videos and photovoice achieve better score on writing Explanation text than those who were taught by using PowerPoint. Suggestions are addressed to English teachers and future researchers. English teachers who need to improve the teaching and learning process to be more interesting and innovative, especially in teaching some types of texts in English curriculum, while future researchers can conduct the research with the same media, they are vidoes and photovoice but in different kind of text or in another language skill.
