The rise of short video platforms like TikTok and Instagram Reels continues to innovate and reshape how digital-native learners engage with educational content. This study investigates how microlearning techniques—especially 60-second phonetics tutorials—can help EFL learners appreciate, imitate, and differentiate English sounds. Videos created for this research emphasize clarity, correct articulation, and the ability to replicate tongue placement. Participants were invited to evaluate, collaborate, and communicate through structured pronunciation tasks and reflection surveys. The aim was to stimulate learner motivation, concentrate on key phonetic elements, and accelerate sound acquisition. While microlearning may not eliminate traditional instruction, it can complement and supplement classroom strategies. Learners who actively participate, annotate their progress, and consolidate their understanding tend to demonstrate better outcomes. However, for such content to truly educate, educators must carefully curate, validate, and moderate the materials. Results indicate that digital platforms, when used to integrate authentic and accessible resources, can facilitate better language outcomes, elevate learner interest, and activate deeper learning. To graduate proficient communicators, institutions must innovate, adapt, and collaborate across platforms.
