Résumé

This research examines the effectiveness of a hybrid pedagogical framework combining Microlearning and AI-Generated Mind Mapping (Mapify) in teaching syntax. Conducted at the Ecole Normale Supérieure (ENS) of Ouargla with 35 third-year students, the study employs a mixed methodology (participant observation, questionnaires and interviews). The results demonstrate that the synoptic distribution of knowledge via Google Classroom significantly reduces student’s cognitive load. By transitioning from linear reading to spatial visualization of syntactic structures, students gain autonomy and improve comprehension speed. AI does not replace intellectual effort but acts as a cognitive architect, facilitating the encoding of complex concepts into long-term memory
