Participants were 100-second year college students, law department from a private university in Saudi Arabia. The experimental group (N 50) used short stories technique to develop their vocabulary acquisition; whereas the control group (N50) was taught their vocabulary through their prescribed book. The pre-post test comprised three parts, the first part includes reading short story and ten questions related to this passage, the second vocabulary questions and finally translation questions that include a list of words to be translated into Arabic and vice versa.
