Abstract	This study proposes a model for integrating multicultural children's short stories as an extension activity or as a supplement to in-class instruction to develop college students' reading and speaking skills in English as a foreign language (EFL), together with cultural awareness. It gives the advantages of using multicultural children's short stories; criteria for selecting multicultural children's short stories; examples of multicultural children's short stories and examples of websites where the instructor can find multicultural children's short stories; reading and speaking skills that can be developed with multicultural children's short stories; and instructional stages with multicultural children's short stories. Reading and speaking tests can be used to measure students' skill level before and after instruction. A questionnaire-survey can be also used to assess improvement in the students' multicultural awareness as a result of using multicultural children's short stories. (As Provided).
