Abstract
- The study considers the innovative educational technology of micro-learning to demonstrate how micro-learning can be used as an effective strategy for teaching a foreign language to adults in the system of additional education, at language courses of various types, in view of modern conditions and realities. The scientific novelty of the study is an example of modelling an English lesson according to the basic principles of micro-learning technology: brevity, conciseness, repeatability. The study has shown that micro-education contributes to increasing student activity and their involvement in the educational process. The study concludes that thanks to micro-education, it is easier for students to see the productive result of their actions, which in turn increases their confidence in further success. Moreover, it facilitates reflection, which is an integral part of any skill development. ‘Difficult’ tasks, on the contrary, may be inadequate to the level of language competence and make learning goals unattainable, which can become a serious factor in demotivating adult learners. The implications of this study extend beyond the immediate context of language education, pointing to the broader potential of micro-learning as a pedagogical tool for enhancing engagement and confidence in adult learners. As educational institutions seek effective strategies in adapting to modern learning environments, the study suggests that integrating micro-learning principles could offer a beneficial approach for optimising adult language acquisition and fortifying a positive and reflective learning experience.
