Abstract. Folktales are a valuable tool in teaching English as a foreign language to young learners. They provide authentic, rich, meaningful information and facilitate the process of acquiring the target language. Children undergoing constant emotional, physical, and cognitive growth, with limited life experience and little knowledge of the wider world, benefit greatly from stories that provide a context for enjoying engaging content, creating meaning from the language used. can get to know the language. Carefully selected or modified folktales also have features such as parallelism and meaningful, natural and rhythmic repetition of language, thereby enhancing students' ability to learn the language informally.

Keywords: folklore, periodicals for children, picture books, folk songs, ballads and literal meaning.
