| Summary: | In missiological circles, “orality” promotes reaching oral learners, but it often gets isolated to methodologies, neglecting to consider the principles and disciplines that make those methods work. A holistic approach defines orality as a complex whereby oral learners receive, remember, and replicate news, information, and truths. Seven disciplines converge in that complex, which, as they are more fully incorporated, can proportionately increase the transformative power of a message: Culture (interpreting the message), Language (receiving of the message), Literacy (understanding the message), Social Networks (relating the message), Memory (retaining the message), The Arts (packaging the message), and Media (delivering the message). |
