This article explores the pedagogical impact of story jokes on the development of reading skills among English language learners. Humor, when used strategically in educational settings, can serve as a powerful tool for engaging students and fostering a positive learning environment. The study examines how story-based jokes not only enhance linguistic competence but also contribute to socio-cultural, compensatory, and speech competencies. By analyzing learners' reactions and academic progress, the research demonstrates how joke stories stimulate students' motivation, improve text comprehension, and encourage deeper interaction with language material. The integration of humor into reading tasks also increases learners’ satisfaction and lowers anxiety, making reading more accessible and enjoyable. The study underscores the potential of humorous texts in creating an inclusive, interactive, and effective language learning experience, particularly in developing countries where engagement strategies are crucial to success. Furthermore, it highlights the role of culturally relevant humor in making reading materials more relatable and meaningful to diverse student populations. The findings suggest that incorporating humor-based content can be an innovative strategy to bridge linguistic gaps and build learner confidence.
