Annotation: This article analyzes the structure and stylistic features of short stories. Short stories are typically simplified, focusing on a specific time, place, and a few main characters. Every word and detail carries significant meaning. While many short stories still follow a traditional narrative structure — with a beginning, climax, and resolution — modern short stories often start in the middle of the action to immediately capture the reader’s attention.

Aннотация: В данной статье анализируется структура и стилистические особенности коротких рассказов. Короткие рассказы, как правило, отличаются упрощённой формой, концентрируясь на определённом времени, месте и https://scientific-jl.org/obr 1 8 Выпуск журнала №-69 Часть–7_ Мая –2025 ОБРАЗОВАНИЕ НАУКА И ИННОВАЦИОННЫЕ ИДЕИ В МИРЕ 2181-3187 нескольких главных героях. Каждое слово и каждая деталь в них имеют важное значение. Хотя традиционная структура рассказа — с началом, кульминацией и разрешением — по-прежнему используется, современные короткие рассказы часто начинаются с середины действия, чтобы сразу увлечь читателя.

Key words: short story, structure, critical thinking, language education, What is a short story? A short story is a work of prose fiction that can be read in one sitting—usually between 20 minutes to an hour. There is no maximum length, but the average short story is 1,000 to 7,500 words, with some outliers reaching 10,000 or 15,000 words. At around 10 to 25 pages, that makes short stories much shorter than novels, with only a few approaching novella length. A piece of fiction shorter than 1,000 words is considered a “short short story” or “flash fiction,” and anything less than 300 words is rightfully called “microfiction.”[1] The frame of a short story is often simplified, focusing on a specific time and place, and presenting one or two main characters without providing full background information. In this concise and concentrated format, every word and every detail must carry significant meaning.Short stories usually center on a single plot, avoiding the complexity of multiple subplots. Some short stories follow a traditional narrative structure, beginning with a description, followed by rising action, reaching a climax, and ending with a resolution. However, many modern short stories tend to begin in the middle of the action, immediately engaging the reader with a dramatic scene. While traditional stories often aimed to deliver a clear moral lesson, today it is common to encounter short stories with open-ended conclusions. These endings invite readers to interpret the story in different ways and encourage a deeper, more complex https://scientific-jl.org/obr 1 9 Выпуск журнала №-69 Часть–7_ Мая –2025 ОБРАЗОВАНИЕ НАУКА И ИННОВАЦИОННЫЕ ИДЕИ В МИРЕ 2181-3187 understanding of human reality and behavior. Such narrative techniques reflect the maturity and creative approaches of modern short story writers. What is the impact of short story in education? By using short stories, students are able to connect what they learn in the classroom to their own real-life experiences, which fosters more active communication between teachers and learners. The use of diverse materials offers rich content to enhance classroom discussions and equips language learners with the necessary skills to tackle real-world problems. Currently, the approach to teaching reading strategies in Iranian schools faces several challenges. One major issue is the lack of effective methods that help students derive meaning from texts. As a result, students often struggle to understand the core message of what they read and to engage in critical thinking about the material. Expriment with students The study demonstrated a significant impact and a level of agreement among the students, showing that meaning, critical thinking, creativity, and engagement were enhanced.
