Micro-learning is a tiny activity by teachers and learners in the classroom, to help the students’ short memory. This means that teachers need to provide a bit-sized learning material to help students to maintain their memories. Based on the phenomena developing video materials using the micro-learning concept is badly needed. The aim of this study is to develop micro learning media for teaching English at junior high school students. The micro-learning video developed in this research are combined with three teaching model namely; problem-based learning, project-based learning and discovery-based learning. The effectiveness of the developed video materials for the learners at junior high school was evaluated using criteria of a good English material suggested by the formula. Moreover, the checklist consisted 5 scales of scoring they are; 5 represents excellent, 4 represents good, 3 represents average, 2 represents below average, and 1 represents poor.
