Abstract
Short story is a short work of fictional prose compared to novel. As a work of fictional prose, short story is filled with imaginative events and characters. It combines five key elements; they are character, setting, conflict, plot and theme. Due to the characteristics, short story is said to be a kind of reading for enjoyment. However, nowadays, short story does not only function merely as an enjoyment. It can be a very effective tool for teaching and one of them is to improve students' vocabulary. In this research, the writer used three short stories as a tool in education. The short stories in this study functioned as a tool to give students many exposures on vocabulary. The short stories itself have been carefully selected to fit the students' need on the 2000 - word level. The subjects of the study were Prisma Profesional students who were selected (16 out of 71 students). First of all the students were given the pre-test. Next they were given eight days to read three short stories (Two stories were detective story - Sherlock Holmes and one story was about mystery. However, all of the stories were written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle) which had also been selected carefully. In the end, they were given the post-test. The pre-test and the post-test later on were analyzed to get the result whether short stories can really improve students' vocabulary.
