Using educational video clips to teach pronunciation can improve students pronunciation, especially intonation and stress. If the pronunciation is correct, all skills, such as listening, speaking, and reading, will become much more manageable. On the contrary, if the listener misunderstands or does not understand the speakers meaning, the Listening and Speaking skills cannot be as expected. The ultimate goal of teaching English is for students to be able to communicate in English. This research aimed to determine the effects of using educational video clips to improve grade 12 students’ stress and intonation at Lao Cai high school number 1. This study investigated the effects of using educational video clips in teaching pronunciation to improve students pronunciation, especially in intonation and stress. The research method that combines the quantitative research method with the data collection tool, which is the survey questionnaire, and the qualitative research method with the data collection tool, which is the semistructured interview, provides an overview of the difficulties and common errors in students pronunciation, the actual situation of using educational video clips in teaching pronunciation. Research results show that students and teachers of Lao Cai No.1 High School are highly aware of the benefits of using educational video clips in teaching pronunciation.
