Abstract


Teaching and learning in Malay society play a very important role in instilling good values. As one of the treasures of Malay heritage, teaching and learning is an oral tradition that is passed down from generation to generation in Malay society. This study seeks to see the performance of Malay teaching and learning oral tradition through an anthropolinguistic approach. This study seeks to reveal: How the process of the performance of Tunjuk Ajar Melayu occurs and the meaning of the performance of Tunjuk Ajar Melayu. The research method used is qualitative with a descriptive approach. The result of this research is that the performance of Tunjuk Ajar Melayu is carried out by people who are elderly, and respected, namely the parents, hulubalang, and the datuak. The existence of parents in the smallest unit of the family in society is very important to ensure that the values of the Malay community contained in the Teaching Guide are passed on properly to their children. Hulubalang and datuak also play an important role in preserving Tunjuk Ajar when presenting it at traditional and communal events such as weddings, circumcisions, births, etc. The universal values contained in Tunjuk Ajar Melayu are divinity, compassion, hard work, courtesy, respect for others, and moral education such as social, religious, and cultural education
