This study, drawing upon the research of Ong and Swidler on orality and cultural tool-kits, aims to examine the oral behavior of illiterate people. Based on the study of the oral expressions of the informants, we find that illiterate people who grew up in an oral culture can use both the tool-kits of oral and literate cultures to express themselves, however, they do exhibit more expertise when it comes to oral tool-kit.
