The sample used in this research was the 2nd year students, total 20 people, from the Faculty of Communication Arts, Sripatum University, Khon Kaen Campus. The research tool was an English-speaking test (before - after class) and a satisfaction questionnaire. The statistics used in the analysis were percentage, mean and standard deviation. Data was collected by making 15 videos for teaching in the classroom. The students' pronunciation test of 20 words was one set of pronunciation practice test. The data was collected two times using the same test; the researcher began collecting data by pre-test for the second-year students of the Communication Arts Faculty, the number of words was 20 words, then the researcher performed the post-test after students watched the video in the final week.

The results of the research were as follows: 1) the post-test scores of the 20 students who took the test were higher before studying. The pre-test had a mean of 3.30, a standard deviation of 2.03, and a post-test with a mean of 17.65, a standard deviation of 1.39. 2) the students were satisfied with the Pronunciation and Vocabulary Video by a mean of 4.06 and a standard deviation of 0.79. The pre-test scores showed that some students did not have a basic knowledge of English pronunciation or have some knowledge but lack the skills of word stress. After the students had learned and practiced the pronunciation from the videos, they gained knowledge of English pronunciation and was able to pronounce the words correctly. This resulted in higher marks in the test after studying.
