Harnessing Rhetoric for Moral Enlightenment: The Role of Rhetorical Teachers in Global Education

In an increasingly complex world, characterized by radicalism and the propagation of misleading narratives, the role of education becomes ever more critical. The concept of a "Rhetorical Teacher" emerges as a potent educational strategy that leverages rhetorical devices to teach moral stories derived from sacred texts. This approach serves to engage students from diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds, fostering a deeper understanding of their own heritage. This report elaborates on the essential functions of the Rhetorical Teacher, provides an example teaching script, identifies key rhetorical devices, outlines practical do's and don'ts for effective pedagogy, and discusses the potential global impact of this initiative.
