• Orality and Post-Literate Culture A new generation is riding the crest of a new wave. Communication formats have changed. Following the media revolution of the 60’s, the world has changed into a new era that has been termed: Post-Literate.

• Orality and Post-Literate Culture Post-Literate The West is well into the post-literate information age. Many emerging countries are likewise rapidly entering the post-literate age.

• Orality and Post-Literate Culture Post-Literate In the post-literate world, learners have a base of literacy, but their primary means of learning have shifted back to oral and aural media.

• Orality and Post-Literate Culture This new generation learns and processes in terms of media such as q television (drama, news, music, interactive graphics or text), qradio (music, news, discussion), telephone (often in conjunction with TV or radio),

• Orality and Post-Literate Culture This new generation learns and processes in terms of media such as qcomputer (which involves basic literacy, but more visuals, graphics and click skills), qetc.

• Orality and Post-Literate Culture In post-literate society, writing and reading are still of value, but only as they facilitate manipulation of other media.

• Orality and Post-Literate Culture There are differences in thought format between literate, “linear” thinkers and oral, or postliterate thinkers. The Western linear-type thinker has a high cultural value on Factual Knowledge.

• Orality and Post-Literate Culture The Western linear type thinker has a high cultural value on Factual Knowledge. This affects the priority in learning, planning, and the underlying sense of truth. Truth is seen as consisting in facts – Specific descriptive statements about an objective, perceivable reality.

• Orality and Post-Literate Culture Truth is seen as consisting in facts – Specific descriptive statements about an objective, perceivable reality. Knowledge is seen as the accumulation these facts. of

• Orality and Post-Literate Culture Oral culture, on the other hand, places priority on relationships, which produces a concept of dynamic truth and not a focus on facts. This dynamic relational concept of truth is called Functional Knowledge.

• Orality and Post-Literate Culture Oral culture q relationships q dynamic truth q not facts Functional Knowledge This focuses on relational skills. Truth is seen in terms of personal integrity and fulfilment of relational and family obligations.

• Orality and Post-Literate Culture The non-literate relational thinker -- with a focus on dynamic truth and functional knowledge – has a high facility of memory and an active skill of visual association. This is called Oral Literacy.

• Orality and Post-Literate Culture The post-literate uses visual skills to process images and activities more than writing skills. While the post-literate has an active attitude toward interactive visual media, formal skills in traditional literacy may be weak.

• Orality and Post-Literate Culture The post-literate may not have the high memory capacity of the traditional oral non-literate, due to the lack of emphasis on memory power in the broader dominant literate society.

• Orality and Post-Literate Culture Post-literate technology assumes traditional literacy skills, but the typical post-literate is a Passive Literate. The literacy skills needed for visual dramatic portrayal on TV or a music video, for example, are more for perception than learning or selfexpression.

• Orality and Post-Literate Culture Literacy is assumed and even necessary, but is not primary. It serves as an adjunct to the event-oriented dynamic visual world of interactive media.

• Orality and Post-Literate Culture The post-literate tends to favor an oralaural learning style, which complements this visual event-oriented literacy. The post-literate places a higher value on relationships and interaction than the traditional literate society, similar to oral cultures.

• Orality and Post-Literate Culture Personal experience is more important than objective fact and established knowledge. Thus in many ways the post-literate is more similar to the nonliterate than is the literate.

• Orality and Post-Literate Culture The learning and communication preferences of the post-literate are similar to those of the non-literate. They process information and make decisions in similar ways. Both are far removed from the way a literate person communicates, processes information, and makes decisions.

The gospel must be sown from within a culture. This presents the challenge of qhow to get inside the cultural worldview perspective and qhow to cast the glories of the Good News in attractive, understandable, meaningful, and acceptable terms.

• Orality and Post-Literate Culture A study of cultures and their communication formats is highly beneficial in knowing how to effectively communicate cross-culturally.
