Abstract : This study focuses on the development and evaluation of a digital corpus system designed in a microlearning format to support Vietnamese vocabulary acquisition among foreign learners. The learning content is presented through short videos that combine images, audio, subtitles, and communicative contexts, helping learners absorb and memorize vocabulary more effectively. The study applies a Design-Based Research method combined with a Mixed Methods Research method. An experiment was conducted with 68 international students at Thai Nguyen University of Education through a Microlearning video system combined with online vocabulary practice activities. The results show that the Microlearning materials have a positive impact on learners' ability to acquire and apply vocabulary; the average vocabulary test score increased from 13.2 to 17.1/20 after the experiment. Simultaneously, the percentage of learners achieving good and excellent levels increased significantly. The initial research results confirm the feasibility of applying Microlearning in teaching Vietnamese as a foreign language and suggest directions for developing digital learning materials in the current digital education context.

Keywords : Vietnamese as a Foreign Language; Vietnamese Vocabulary;, Vocabulary Development; Digital Materials; Microlearning.
