24. Reading aloud – Pay special attention to the pronunciation of front vowels and central vowels. Folklore – Stories of Cultures Past • Folklore is the study of culture and history that is passed on through oral literature. The word “oral” means relating to the mouth, especially the spoken word. Oral literature includes stories, poems, and songs that are passed on by word of mouth. They are passed between family members and residents of villages, and from one generation to the next. Before written language and books, and long before computers, people passed information orally – by telling stories and singing songs. In some parts of the world, the oral tradition is still the primary way of communication. • There are many different purposes of these songs and stories. Some stories and songs taught religious beliefs; others celebrated romance and the triumph of good over evil. Still others gave important moral lessons, especially to children. Many of these stories contained supernatural elements like fairies, witches and magic spells.
