| contents | The rapid evolution of lightweight consumer augmented reality (AR) smart glasses (a.k.a. optical see-through head-mounted displays) offers novel opportunities for learning, particularly through their unique capability to deliver multimodal information in just-in-time, micro-learning scenarios. This research investigates how such devices can support mobile second-language acquisition by presenting progressive sentence structures in multimodal formats. In contrast to the commonly used vocabulary (i.e., word) learning approach for novice learners, we present a "progressive presentation" method that combines both word and sentence learning by sequentially displaying sentence components (subject, verb, object) while retaining prior context. Pilot and formal studies revealed that progressive presentation enhances recall, particularly in mobile scenarios such as walking. Additionally, incorporating timed gaps between word presentations further improved learning effectiveness under multitasking conditions. Our findings demonstrate the utility of progressive presentation and provide usage guidelines for educational applications-even during brief, on-the-go learning moments. |
