Oral Literature

This topic explores the rich tradition of Oral Literature, which is passed down through generations by word of mouth. Learners study various forms including folktales, riddles, proverbs, songs, praises, and idioms. They develop skills in identifying, analysing, performing, and even composing these forms. Activities involve telling folktales, solving riddles, interpreting proverbs, and performing songs, linking them to real-life situations and different linguistic contexts. This topic is central to understanding Zambian cultural heritage and sharpens creative, analytical, and communicative competences as required by the CBC, directly supporting performance in school-based assessments and the ECZ O' Level exam.
