E. Teaching Reading by Using Short Story
Teaching reading by using short story is very interesting to students, because there are at least three good reasons for teaching a short
story. It has unity, independent existence, and an embryonic character. When the teacher explained about the material, especially short story the
students can give more attention to learn about it. Moreover, short story should not be considered a lower- quality production of an author. In fact,
the student can work harder than he would with a novel, as he dedicates more of his time to thinking than to reading new material and thus spends
more analyzing. Another advantage lies in the fact that the short stories have an independent existence. Unlike excerpts or chapters in novels, they
constitute complete units of meaning. Also, they can be studied as parts of
collections and thus provide another dimension.
