The use of native English story in EFL, which has so far been a source for heated debate among the scholars due to the possible intercultural conflict experienced by the learners and can possibly lead to the learners’ confusion during the class, is basically driven by the long gone communicative competence theory, the paradigm which views that incorporating cultural aspects (sociolinguistic element) of the native English speakers is inseparable in acquiring communicative competence. Actually, the use of local short story for language learning, despite being absent in some aspects such as; idioms, style, pragmatic, etc., can possibly incur a lot more motivating aspects, this is because the learners can usually understand the overall learning process in a more comprehensive manner. Based on schemata theory, the process of learning might greatly be affected by the learners’ prior knowledge due to the schemata that the learners already had, thus the learning process involving the native English speakers’ paradigm might significantly hamper the learners in understanding and enjoying the story smoothly especially when the story is relatively longer and the teacher is not really competent in explaining the material or the learners who are still in the lower proficiency level. This literary review aims at highlighting the issue on the use of local short stories which can probably provide more psychological advantages compared with the foreign learning sources, as long as the materials are supported with good layout, sufficient vocabulary and standardized grammar, this package will certainly enable the leaners to learn the content and moral values, thus improving not only their linguistic aspects, e.g. vocabulary, grammar, etc., but also their self –confidence in leading their life which is certainly very suitable to the way of life of the learners.
