Abstract
The study aims (1) to develop micro-learning media that can be applied to Chinese speech for learners, (2) to compare student communication skills between the experiment group and the control group, and (3) to evaluate the students' attitude toward using microlearning to train Chinese speech in children. The total sample of 100 students (two classes) for this experiment was from the fifth grade of Ronghu Public Primary School in Guilin, China. The research instruments included a questionnaire on students' attitudes toward microlearning teaching and assessing students' communication skills after microlearning lessons. The statistics involved in the experiment were mean, S.D., t-test, and ANOVA. Random and control variables were extracted to ensure the reliability of the experimental data. The research found that (1) the teaching content and teaching video designed through microlearning media received high-quality evaluations from five experts, with a mean score of 4.43, (2) the results of the communication ability of students in the experimental group were higher than those of the traditional group, and (3) a survey of students after training with microlearning showed that there was a course in which students had a strong interest in microlearning and a very positive attitude towards learning.
