Teachers past and current use of folktales as a pedagogical tool.

Narrator	Exemplar quotations
Teacher	“Most of the time I tell stories when teaching moral education to help the learners understand better…After each lesson I ask questions to the learners to help us come out with the moral lessons” “At times I introduce my composition writing using folk tales. After that, I give guidelines to my pupils to write a composition related to my story” “I use folktales in teaching listening comprehension. At times I tell them it is time for story telling but after that you have questions to answer. Everyone must pay attention”
Pupils	“There are times I prefer to ask children to tell stories when I am teaching. Some start but are unable to complete their folktales” “Some children enjoy narrating folktales to their mates, some narrate the folktales and tell us the moral lesson from the folktales” “I ask the pupils to tell the class any folktale in their local language, then translate to the English language. This is done during Civic education lessons when teaching national languages”
