dc.description.abstractABSTRACT This dissertation aims at exploring students’ awareness and knowledge of vocabulary. It tries to investigate if reading short stories can have a great impact on their vocabulary formation. This study examines 70 participants, boys and girls chosen randomly from Amir Khaled secondary school, Khenchela. The researcher gives a pre-test that examines their awareness and knowledge of vocabulary from different short stories. Then, they read three African short stories. They read Achebe’s ―Dead Men’s Path‖, then Aidoo’s ―Certain Winds from the South‖ and La Guma’s ―Blankets‖. Students learn the stories and the vocabulary while using different vocabulary strategies. After that, the researcher offers a post-test to find students’ development in enhancing their vocabulary. Results confirm the hypotheses, as students show little awareness for vocabulary from the selected stories. After reading the stories and using different vocabulary strategies, their results improve and their vocabulary have been enhanced.
