Abstract
The present research aimed at enhancing EFL vocabulary acquisition of secondary stage students and their interest. This was achieved through reading short stories. The research adopted two groups; experimental and control. The sample consisted of 32 students. The following instruments were used: A vocabulary test and an interest scale. Results revealed that there is a statistically significant difference at 0.05 level between the mean score of the experimental and control group students on the post administration of the vocabulary test in favor of the experimental group. In addition, the experimental group students outperformed their counterparts in the control group students in the target skills. Consequently, reading short stories had a positive effect not only on students’ vocabulary learning, but also on students’ interest.
Keywords: Short stories, EFL Vocabulary Acquisition, Students’ interest.
