Folklore and fairytales have been examined as effective means for teaching culture in a foreign language because they are an integral part of people’s everyday life. Morain (1997) proposed the idea that folklore is superior to literary writing because it depicts the attitudes of large groups of people. Gholson and Stumpf (2005) believe that folklore might help promote cultural dialogue in which L2 learners gain respect for differences between their native culture and L2 culture, as well as acknowledge the similarities in both cultures. Akpinar and Ozturk (2009) suggest that folklore can be taught in an L2 classroom through an inquiry approach: folklore engages the students in exploring the theme and structure of a folktale, relating these to their L1 background knowledge, and then drawing conclusions about the target culture, its beliefs, values, lifestyles, history, etc.

The text recommends the teaching of a foreign language through folklore because, among others, folklore
- is the ideal way to introduce the element “target culture” in language courses.
- is a universal genre, though it manifests itself differently from culture to culture.
- can add to learners’ understanding of likenesses and unlikenesses between cultures.
- can be most properly used to teach students about beliefs and values.
- is most adequate to help develop cultural dialogue between countries.

A alternativa correta indica que o estudo do folclore contribui para o entendimento das semelhanças e diferenças entre culturas. Isso está explícito quando os autores afirmam que o folclore pode promover um diálogo cultural em que aprendizes reconhecem tanto as diferenças quanto as similaridades entre sua cultura de origem e a cultura-alvo.
O folclore veicula crenças, valores e comportamentos coletivos, ou seja, retrata atitudes de grandes grupos, o que facilita a comparação cultural. Por meio de uma abordagem investigativa, os alunos analisam temas e estruturas dos contos, relacionam-nos ao seu conhecimento prévio e tiram conclusões sobre valores, modos de vida e história da cultura estudada.
Esse processo comparativo desenvolve a competência intercultural, pois torna explícitas as semelhanças e as diferenças culturais, promovendo respeito e compreensão crítica.
