Description of Oral Communicators

From SPARK

"By 'oral communicators' we mean those people who learn best and whose lives are most likely to be transformed when instruction comes in oral forms. Many groups transmit their beliefs, heritage, values and other important information by means of:

• stories
• proverbs
• poetry
• chants
• dances
• ceremonies
• rights of passage
• music

The spoken, sung, or chanted word associated with these activities often consists of ornate and elaborate ways to communicate....Cultures which use these forms of communication are sometimes called 'oral cultures.'"[1]
