This study explores the effectiveness of using activities for teaching short stories to the students studying at bachelor level under Education Faculty at Tribhuvan University Nepal used by teachers employing qualitative research design. One hundred and twenty students of bachelor level were involved in this study. Out of which forty-five girls and the rest were boys. The research participants were observed using a set of questionnaires to collect relevant information to fulfill its purpose. The finding showed that teachers use deductive teaching activities while teaching short stories. However, students believe that stories should be taught with the help of effective, engaging activities. All of the students were interested in teaching literature with the use of student-centered methods of teaching, although they were taught through the use of the deductive method of teaching at bachelor level.
