Teaching English by following numerous grammatical rules and stylistic devices enhances the quality of using the language in the rapidly developed global village where English Language is a very hard nut to crack for EFL learners. English Language in daily usage as well as in literary writings and newspaper articles follows distinctive styles and linguistic registers.

The purpose of the present study, thus, is to highlight the importance of using newspapers to improve linguistic proficiency and the style of presentation to make the learners able enough to communicate in the world outside the classroom.
