For English language learners, developing speaking abilities at the A2 level is extremely difficult, especially
in situations where exposure to real-world conversation is scarce. This paper investigates the efficacy of combining
structured Q&A exercises with short stories to improve A2 learners’ speaking abilities. While directed questioning fosters
interaction, fluency, and confidence, short stories offer cultural experience, reasonable language input, and significant
context. The study covers pedagogical implications, sample exercises, practical classroom practices, and theoretical
underpinnings. The results indicate that learners’ fluency, vocabulary retention, and interactive ability are much enhanced
when short story texts are combined with communicative questioning strategies
