ABSTRACT
Folk literature is considered the invaluable heritage of the nation, a repository of the cultural beauty and way of life of the Vietnamese people. When delving into folk tales, we understand the hopes and aspirations of the people for a better life. Folk tales have existed for thousands of years and are not just for entertainment. They serve as an important educational tool, connecting and preserving culture. Folk tales influence how we perceive the world, convey ideals, and strengthen the bond between individuals and communities. Drawing from the rich treasury of Vietnamese folk tales, this article explores the significant impact of this genre on our understanding of the world, the transmission of cultural values, and the creation of meaningful community connections. In practice, teaching and learning folk tales in schools is always favored by students because it suits their age and psychological characteristics. However, how to teach in a way that allows students to use their imagination, immerse themselves in the world of folk tales, and extract life lessons is a matter of great interest.
