"The educational system has changed since a year ago. Face to face classes were replaced for online classes. This situation was caused by COVID-19. Teachers confronted many different things to teach English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classes, one of these was the way to teach reading skill; “teaching reading is a complex process that draws upon an extensive knowledge base and repertoire of strategies” (Reading Rockets, 2021, p.1). As it is naturally complicated, it was needed to find almost one reading strategy in which students practice this activity in EFL online classes in a nice and enjoyable way. In addition, according to Hamra (2010) most teachers agree that reading material is a difficult task to find meanwhile students have a poor reading comprehension (p.33-34). Based on the previous claims, this quasi-experimental study focuses on how to teach specific vocabulary using reading in a creative manner. Storytelling was the activity to use in this study and Ali and the magic carpet was the short story to use because it has specific weather vocabulary on it. Thus, the objectives of this quasi-experimental study are to evaluate and analyze if the participants learned and comprehended weather vocabulary with the short story chosen".
