This study is about boosting vocabulary for second language learners through listening short story. Though there are lots of techniques involved in enriching vocabulary, students learn significant amount of words and related meanings when they are exposed to oral presentation. Listening to short stories will induce the eagerness to learn new words. The other benefit in listening technique is that they get stronger in pronunciation part as well as in grammatical part. Various classroom activities are conducted among children that help them to retain the vocabulary for long time. Children’s interest, concentration and eagerness is necessary for their successful progression. When children listen to short stories they acquire many new words and they become familiar with partially known words. Activities like conducting multiple choice questions, interactive sections will enable them to participate actively. In this article an experiment is undertaken which involves a pre-test and post-test that marks the improvement of vocabulary acquisition.
