- Abstract
Today, the foreign language teaching professions and intellectuals are strongly advocating and recommending the use of short-stories in EFL contexts as this use is said to contribute not only in the effective fostering of foreign language skills but also in multi-faceted, socio-cultural, cognitive, emotional as well as personal growth of foreign language learners. The use of short-stories in EFL classroom, thus, promises, the much needed and constantly sought, the true aim of teaching and learning of any foreign language, which is the linguistic and socio-cultural as well as personal development of foreign language learners as 'linguistically competent, open-minded, responsible citizens of this culturally diverse world'. Such multidimensional advantages and benefits of the use of short-stories, and their implications in EFL context, are discussed, both from theoretical and practical perspectives, in this paper.
