Speaking skill refers to the ability to convey one’s thought through words. It is advisable to develop speaking skill in English at the early stage because they can practice better with necessary language skills to succeed in later life. The purpose of the paper is to develop speaking skill in English through Short Stories. The researcher selected three short stories from “Arabian Nights”, and “Parts of Speech” was taught using these stories to speak without grammatical errors.
