Annotation: It is an undeniable fact that vocabulary plays an important role in academic life for those who learn English as a second language. This is because if foreign language learners do not have enough vocabulary, they also have a significant impact on other language skills. David Wilkins therefore wrote that " very little can be conveyed without grammar. Nothing can be delivered without a dictionary."he said very correctly. Therefore, teaching and learning vocabulary in any foreign language plays a very important role. Thus, various methods and strategies are used to develop the vocabulary of English learners as a second language. Although success depends on the nature of any methodology, strategy or material in force and the reader's perceptions and attitudes towards that methodology, strategy and material. This article focuses on the role of short stories in the development of reader vocabulary.

Keywords: Vocabulary development, readers, use of short stories, vocabulary, teaching strategies, knowledge of a foreign language.
