Abstract:The studies of oral literature are countless, and the educational function of storytelling is certainly one of recurring topics. However, there continue to be opportunities for researching and reflecting on the education created and transmitted by oral genres. The authors of this issue of the Nordic Journal of African Studies have accepted the challenge to write about teaching/learning processes through oral literatures in African communities. The articles presented in this volume are a selection that were submitted to a double peer review of the papers presented at the ISOLA Conference (International Society for the Oral Literatures of Africa) that was held in Abidjan in 2014. Contributions: Introduction: African oral literature and education: interactions and intersections (D. Merolla); Expressing parenthood through oral storytelling: educational relationships in a corpus of Bwa folktales from Mali (C. Leguy, A. Dembele, J.T. Diarra and P. Diarra); The pedagogic structure of Igbo folktale: Lejja tortoise tales a case study (U. E.
