This Element explores the innovative integration of microlearning and generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) in second-language education. Designed for language teachers, teacher trainers, and future educators, it offers research-informed insights and actionable strategies for designing learner-centred, technology-enhanced instruction. The Element introduces the evolution and applications of GenAI in language learning, examines its synergy with microlearning, and presents pedagogical frameworks rooted in SLA theory, cognitive load theory, and multimodal learning. Practical guidance is provided for designing, implementing, and evaluating AI-assisted microlearning tasks, focusing on interactivity, accessibility, and ethical use. The Element also explores GenAI's role in teacher professional development and considers future trends shaping language education. While celebrating the transformative potential of GenAI, it critically engages with the challenges and limitations of emerging technologies. Through a balanced blend of theory and practice, this Element equips educators with the knowledge and tools to navigate and harness the evolving AI-enhanced language learning landscape.

This book examines teacher professional development (TPD) models to integrate microlearning into TPD training and serves as a concise but comprehensive introduction to the field.

This book provides strategies, tools, and best practices for incorporating microlearning in English language teaching.

This book provides strategies, tools, and best practices for incorporating microlearning in English language teaching. It aims to help teachers create and deliver microlearning mechanisms that are optimized for mobile learning. This book also draws on relevant literature and the author’s first-hand experience designing microlearning activities for English learners. It covers important aspects of microlearning, including artificial intelligence, virtual reality, augmented reality, and mixed modalities. It is an important starting point for teachers, academics, and researchers interested in the principles and practice of microlearning in English language teaching. English language teachers in formal and informal education environments find this work thought-provoking, instructive, and informative and benefit from exploring the possibilities of microlearning to motivate and engage learners and maximize the number and quality of their learning experiences.
