The findings show that the teachers’ have positive responses towards teaching vocabulary through short story. The major findings of the study show that short story was used for teaching vocabulary to the students, to improve students’ vocabulary knowledge, to inspire and motivate to students, to develop the vocabulary in their mind and use in day to day communication with native speaker, to promote the effective way of teaching vocabulary, to engage the students’ with their study. In my findings most of the teacher’s emphasis on teaching vocabulary through short stories because students learn vocabulary easily while learning short stories. Most of the school teacher’s emphasis on reading passage and get the meaning after read the passage but they don’t emphasis on reading vocabulary separately.. They are avoiding to translation in students’ native language. Some of the school’s teachers are using smart board for teaching short stories and students are enjoying teaching through the smart board. They are developing the word meaning searching skills as well as pronunciation, synonyms, several sentences. This thesis has been divided into five chapters.
