Reading is a complex process that combines the use of skills to arrive at comprehension. Readers in an EFL situation need reading materials in the form of textbooks that will not only build, but will also strengthen beginning reading skills, such as word analysis, structural analysis, dictionary use, making inferences and learning the meaning of words from the context.Short stories at the intermediate stages of language learning could be beneficial since literature has the quality of being universal and short stories will allow the teacher to deal with human problems. Very often class discussions will make a student to think, to do away with misconceptions that he has gained and will enhance an international feeling of understanding many misunderstood concepts and may even perhaps help gain some new perspective on them. Students voice their feelings about many issues and earnestly look for the information that could promote a better understanding of the world in which we as human beings live in. Moreover, since he is drawing from his own experiences, the problem of not having knowledge about the subject, as might occur on a topic about pollution or even nuclear explosion, does not come up. Furthermore, because he is expressing his feelings about an issue he will get involved in the topic which he tends to see as important and will like to spend a great deal of time on it. It is quite natural for human nature to communicate through narration a sequence of actions that could be interesting and sometimes motivating too.
