The term often focuses on hearing and speaking, which can exclude some groups. A holistic approach sees orality as expressing thoughts and emotions through various means. By identifying orality traits across people groups, we can create effective communication strategies. This issue of Orality Talks Journal explores these insights and methods.

It defines orality conceptually, emphasizing its role in conveying shared meaning and information. The text introduces High Orality Reliance (HOR) and Low Orality Reliance (LOR) frameworks, illustrating how missionary efforts often impose LOR methods on oral cultures. It advocates for a more holistic approach, urging the integration of disciplines modeled by Jesus. The conclusion emphasizes the need for HOR training paradigms, especially in educational settings. The article calls for a culturally sensitive, orality-informed approach to communication and mission work.
