The increasing use of micro-videos, such as reels and shorts, in digital learning environments presents unique opportunities for enhancing pedagogical practices. This study investigates the impact of using short-format educational videos on teaching English language skills to undergraduate engineering students in India. This study adopts a mixed-methods approach, combining pre- and post-test assessments, engagement analytics, and student feedback to evaluate learning outcomes. Preliminary findings indicate a significant improvement in students' writing, speaking, listening, reading, grammar, and vocabulary acquisition when they are exposed to context-specific Employment of micro-videos. This paper discusses the best practices for creating such videos, explores their effectiveness in fostering active learning, and highlights challenges such as content design, learner engagement, and language retention. The implications for curriculum design in technical education are explored, offering a framework for integrating micro-videos into traditional and hybrid learning environments. Additionally, the study conducted a comparative analysis between traditional teaching methods and micro-video-based instruction to evaluate their relative effectiveness. Personalised learning strategies are considered by tailoring video content to different learning paces and providing adaptive and student-centred education. To enhance engagement, interactive features such as quizzes, pronunciation drills, comprehension exercises, and gamified tasks linked to videos were integrated into the learning experience.
