The teaching of pronunciation is scarcely given attention to in class, thus utilizing technology in language learning is essential to help the students enhance their pronunciation.

Here, these cases had to go through an interview, a treatment and recording of the post-selfvid. The procedures were analysed to get the final data on pronunciation errors and its connection with motivation. The findings suggest high motivation with the cases deliberating on the importance of good pronunciation for various reasons. A majority of the cases also found that using selfvids can assist their English pronunciation learning in school. It is recommended that teachers be given freedom of teaching by allowing them to use selfvids as part of pronunciation teaching method.
