Abstract
In the present era, speaking in English without errors is a great challenge for the students of all ages and it is a long process to achieve it, perfectly. Speaking skill refers to the ability to convey one’s thought through words. It is advisable to develop speaking skill in English at the early stage because they can practice better with necessary language skills to succeed in later life. The purpose of the paper is to develop speaking skill in English through Short Stories. The researcher selected three short stories from “Arabian Nights”, and “Parts of Speech” was taught using these stories to speak without grammatical errors. The statistical analysis shows that there was an improvement among the experimental group students.
期刊介绍：
English is an internationally known journal of literary criticism, published on behalf of The English Association. Each issue contains essays on major works of English literature or on topics of general literary interest, aimed at readers within universities and colleges and presented in a lively and engaging style. There is a substantial review section, in which reviewers have space to situate a book within the context of recent developments in its field, and present a detailed argument. English is unusual among academic journals in publishing original poetry. This policy embodies the view that the critical and creative functions, often so widely separated in the teaching of English, can co-exist and cross-fertilise each other.
