dc.description.abstractThe import of storytelling as a transmitter of cultural and moral values has been greatly undermined by the influx of uncensored and uncritical acceptance of foreign cultures and lifestyles amongst African children. The result is that African stories are not being told, if they are told, they are relayed as illustrations of western stereotypes about Africa. It is against this backdrop that this paper takes a critical look at the import of storytelling as a teaching method in the transmission of African cultural and moral values in African primary and secondary schools, in order to promote national development. It situates this discourse within the context of the African cultural, moral, and educational value system. The paper adopts the phenomenological method to critically explore the phenomenon of storytelling as a teaching method. It also recommends that storytelling as a teaching method be included into the primary and secondary school syllabus in Africa in order to develop meaningful national development.en_US
