Given the significance of ongoing innovation and advancement in language teaching techniques and the benefits of employing short stories in language classes, a novel language teaching approach disguised as a short story is presented here. The goal of using a short tale as a language teaching tool is to increase students' understanding of their own identities, as well as their cultures and languages. The major goal of short story is to assist students in developing their language abilities by allowing them to appreciate and use language for conversation while using short tales as the teaching materials in a welcoming environment. It improves the pupils' critical thinking and communicating skills.
