With the advance of mobile communications technology and the spread of smart phones and tablet PCs, learning forms have changed dramatically. As a new form of learning, micro-learning is welcomed by many teachers and learners. Micro-learning, also known as the fragmented learning, is different from traditional systematic learning method. With this learning form, learners' learning activities are not confined by time and place; they can study anytime, anywhere with relatively small learning units for a short time. The goal of college English teaching is to develop students' comprehensive ability of English, including listening, speaking, reading and writing, as well as autonomous learning ability. Applying micro-learning in the teaching of college English is of great benefit. This thesis introduces the research and development of micro-learning and suggests concrete ways to conduct micro-learning in the teaching of college English.
