چکیده
Despite the importance of writing in both academic and daily lives of people, most students suffer from difficulties of writing in a foreign language. What people write, represent their idea and their knowledge about a subject, so a poor writing can hide the actual viewpoint of a person or even can lead into misinterpretation of the message. Accordingly there is a need to use a method that motivates the EFL/ESL students and helps them to improve their writing ability. This study examined two groups of students to find out the effects of short story reading on their writing ability. Within two months, the control group (N=23) was taught the school book, while the experimental group (N=24) was taught the school book and also was supposed to read three short stories. Relevant findings illustrated that the experimental group’s writing had improved more than the control group’s writing (gain score= 5.7 vs. 2.7; effect size= .31). Questionnaires were also given to students who had read the stories and the teacher to evaluate the course design. The results showed that almost 79.17% of the students had found the course beneficial; furthermore the teacher was also satisfied with the course program. Based on the obtained results, the study considered reading short story as an effective and beneficial tool for improving writing ability of EFL students. The study has pedagogical implications for English writing classes aiming at educating EFL students.کلیدواژه ها
