The significance of the use of the short story in language
teaching and the effective approaches that help to realise
this significance are the two major concerns of this field
study.
The whole study consists of two parts : theoretical
justification and practical application, with more emphasis
on the second part. It starts with a brief discussion on
the inseparable connection between language learning and
literature (Chapter 1), followed by a close examination at
the specialities and potentialities short stories can offer
to language teaching (Chapter 2), which leads to a detailed
discussion (accompanied by an exemplified demonstration
through sample lessons) of the actual use of short stories
in an EFL class (Chapters 3, 4, and 5).
The practical value of the study lies in two aspects : it
brings about, by analysing its substances, the awareness of
the value of the short story in language teaching; and it
opens to us, by presenting detailed and concrete examples,
varied and practical approaches to the effective use of the
short story in EFL environment.
