Abstract


The trends of microlearning in education, especially in English language teaching has been raised over the last several years. Microlearning has proven to be significant as one of alternative methods for digital native learners who learn according to their needs, anytime and anywhere.  It has been considered in relation to e-learning as a tool for usage in a variety of contexts of learning to achieve its goals.  The microlearning theories and practices have been explored along with how to create, develop and implement it.  Further study is needed to explore the potential and challenges of microlearning usage as a model of English language teaching settings.  Thus, this study aims to scrutinize the literature and point out the potential and challenges in the microlearning-based model in ELT. A library research was conducted in this study. The data was collected from reviewing and synthesizing some related empirical sources. The findings identified the potentials and the challenges of microlearning implementation.
