Oral learners

Oral learners learn by hearing a story. I'm told that explaining it only confuses them - they have already understood the story and grasped its message/moral. And I think that literate leaners are to some extent able to glean a story's abstract themes and principles by themselves . . .

So maybe we should stop teaching in a literate way that only caters for the literates, and instead teach in a more story-telling way that caters for both. Perhaps the only explanation needed is of broader application and themes/principles that people mightn't work out on their own. Then again, any explanation will just confuse the oral learners . . . Maybe you do have to be specific afterall . . . ?
