The purpose of this study is to investigate how well enjoyable learning strategies can instruct students in descriptive text writing at vocational high schools. The study, which was carried out at SMK Grafika Bina Media Medan, aims to improve Grade X students' ability to describe places and objects through interesting, student-centered activities. The study used a qualitative descriptive approach that included collaborative writing techniques, visual task-based learning, vocabulary reinforcement, and discovery learning. The results showed that students' command of vocabulary, sentence construction, and the capacity to write evocative and cohesive descriptive writings had significantly improved. Incorporating visual and real-world elements with interactive and game-based learning also improved student motivation, engagement, and writing confidence. These findings support earlier research and emphasize the value of using contextual, enjoyable teaching strategies while teaching English at the vocational level.
