Tóm tắt

Harmer (2017, p. 281) characterizes pronunciation as the manner in which
 language sounds are articulated, including the execution of stress, utilization of
 pitch, and intonation to convey emotions and intentions. It is considered to be one
 of the most important aspects contributing to good speaking skills. The study aims
 are to develop students’ pronunciation through video dubbing project and
 investigate the effectiveness of this project on improving students’ pronunciation.
 This is an action research conducted on 29 students in 4th grade from a primary
 school in Ha Noi, academic year 2021- 2022. This research calls for specific stages,
 namely planning, action, observation, and reflection. Two cycles of action research
 are carried out to examine the changes after the intervention. The instruments of this
 study are students’ video dubbing, teacher’s and students’ observation checklists
 and interview. At the end, the quantitative and qualitative data collected from
 participants will be analyzed and descriptively reported. The results of the students’
 video dubbing, as well as the observation and interview, will be used to prove the
 study's findings. Findings demonstrate that the fundamental theories were perfectly
 appropriate for instructing in this setting, where practically all students
 enthusiastically participated in the project and test results after each intervention
 were significantly improved.
