Abstract
This project is based on the study of the significance of the media in the educational
implications of Acholi Oral Literature.
The choice of this topic has been prompted by a strong desire to contribute through my
research to the promotion of Acholi Oral Literature.
IV
This study attempts to define Oral Literature from the Acholi perspective and relates it to
the definition by Nandwa and Bukenya of Oral Literature in their book "African Oral
Literature". It also aims at identifying and classify the various kinds of Acholi Oral
Literature, which includes riddles, proverbs, narratives, tongue-twisters, myths, legends
and songs.
In particular, the study strives to expose the love or courtship songs and funeral dirges of
the Acholi. This involves interpreting and analyzing the songs collected during the field
study of which they are later played on radios or shown on television programs.
The study also endeavors to expose the rich values contained in Acholi Oral Literature
through songs played on radio by the local Artists
