English From Stories to Real Life: How Reading Helps Us Speak Better

Abstract

This paper explores how reading contributes to the development of spoken English skills among language learners. Reading stories, novels, and other texts expands vocabulary by presenting new words in meaningful contexts, helps learners internalize correct grammar structures, and provides exposure to natural conversational patterns through dialogue. Additionally, reading improves pronunciation by familiarizing learners with word forms and rhythm, while also increasing confidence in communication. Ultimately, the study highlights that regular reading is an effective and enjoyable method for strengthening real-life English-speaking abilities
