Micro-Learning and Focused Language Input: Practical Strategies for Modern Classrooms.
Iryna Yefimova
Summary
In an era of chronic attention distraction and cognitive overload, how can teachers craft lessons that fit tight adult schedules yet still deliver measurable gains? This talk will present classroom-tested micro-learning techniques that break content into focused bites, maximise learner engagement, and turn every lesson into a genuine brain-friendly learning opportunity with tangible outcomes. Science-backed research on memory and attention proves that micro-learning and focused language input are effective strategies for dealing with cognitive overload, boosting motivation and increasing learner involvement. Participants will see a ready-to-use lesson plan that showcases what micro-learning looks like in practice.
