The hypothesis of this research stated that the integration of short stories in English classes was a useful strategy to foster students’ vocabulary acquisition .Hence, the descriptive method is used through administering two questionnaires for both students and teachers. A semi structured questionnaire was administered to a sample of second year EFL students of English; 60 students were selected randomly from two groups in order to catch the students awareness of the role that short stories provide to expand their vocabulary repertoire. Moreover, a semi structured questionnaire was handed to 7 teachers of written expression to investigate their opinions towards the existing relation between reading short stories and learners’ vocabulary. The results of this study indicate that the respondents are aware of the merits of integrating short stories as a powerful strategy in improving learners’ lexical repertoire. Based on the study results, the suggested hypothesis that reading short stories plays a significant and effective role to improve learners’ vocabulary has been confirmed. Accordingly, our research findings call the teachers to increase their students’ awareness of the significant role of reading short stories in improving their language level. الملخص تهدف الدراسة الى ابراز دور القصص القصيرة كمورد إلثراء المخزون اللغوي لدى طالب المتخصصين في اللغة االنجليزية كلغة أجنبية. و أوضحت الفرضية أن ادراج القصص القصيرة في أقسام اللغة االنجليزية كلغة أجنبية يطور ويثري الثروة اللغوية من حيث المفردات. و لمعالجة هذا الموضوع قمنا بتوزيع استبيان على طلبة السنة الثانية ليسانس بفرع اللغة االنجليزية بجامعة بسكرة باإلضافة الى توزيع استبيان اخر لعدد محدد من اساتذة تقنيات التعبير الكتابي. بعد تحليل البيانات و النتائج المتحصل عليها استطعنا اثبات فرضية الدراسة. و في األخير تنتهي هذه الورقة بوضع االقتراحات البيداغوجية إلبراز حلول مناسبة ومساعدة والتي من شأنها تحسين وتطوير المخزون اللغوي لطلبة اللغة االنجليزية كلغة أجنبية في المستقبل
