Folklore is part of cultural and historical richness owned by the Agiryama people. In general, folklore is one of the old oral literary genres called the fairy tale of the archipelago. The purpose of this study is to explore an alternative source of language learning materials through folklore so as to seek the creation of media during the learning process.

The key contribution of this paper to the Kenyan basic education is to equip teachers with the understanding of the significance of teaching using folklore. The result is Kigiryama folklore can act as supporting materials in language learning that can be used by the people of the Coastal region and in Kenya in general.
