Introduction Character Building is a term that is increasingly gaining more attention from the public, especially in the field of education. Character building is an effort to help the mental development of children both physically and mentally from their natural character towards a humane and better civilization. Mulyasa (2011: 9) stated that the goal of character building is to improve the quality of educational processes and outcomes that lead to the formation of the character and noble character of students entirely, integrated and balanced, in accordance with the competency standards of graduation in each education unit. The students are expected independently to increase and use their knowledge, investigate, and internalize and personalize the values of character and noble character so that it is manifested in daily behavior. This is in accordance with the statement of Rahmat et al (2019: 98) which states that a teacher will usually provide reading assignments as a basis of home learning for students, so that students will be able to learn independently so as to improve their abilities and knowledge. One of the media informing the character-building to achieve the success of the task of development is through literature. Folklore can be implicated to make learning fun. Ermad et al. (2013) stated that stories can build children's imagination and grow their creativity in thinking, saying and doing. Character building at the primary school level is a foundation of efforts to develop a complete Indonesian person. In this case, a teacher must be proficient and careful in selecting the media for delivering the folklore in accordance with the conditions and characteristics of students. This way is expected to rise positive impact on the successful formation of character building in children. The autonomy of the socio-cultural conditions of the people is reflected in the resulting cultural products. Therefore, every oral discourse is actually born in the context of certain cultural situations and social conditions. In oral discourse, the conditions are evident, because discourse is proposed in certain languages and in certain environments (Pudentia, 2015: 146). Related to the case, this study emerged from the phenomenon of the development of oral discourse in the form of oral literature, especially for folklore with quite serious stagnation in Sungai Penuh City. The stagnation was demonstrated by the lack of strategies and optimal efforts in the development and building of oral literature that was aimed to grow the values of character, especially in the world education for primary school students in Sungai Penuh. Result of observations in one of the primary schools in Sungai Penuh was found that the introduction of prose (folklore) was still in the general scope of the fables. In Grade IV, for example, Malin Kundang, Lake Toba, Timun Mas, Dewi Sri, Tangkuban Perahu and so on are the kind of the story of the archipelago, especially the regions of Java. Most students do not know the location of story and the native speakers or storytellers. It’s associated with the autonomy of folklore in the form of texts, actions, and semantics between storytellers and the receivers (Pudentia, 2015). For example, the students 106 Suci Miza, Megi Vornika/ JG.2020.V6i1/(105-117) Jurnal Gramatika: Jurnal Penelitian Pendidikan Bahasa dan Sastra Indonesia (P-ISSN: 2442-8485) (E-ISSN: 2460-6316) Vol. 6 No. 1. April 2020 (105-117) http://ejournal.stkip-pgri-sumbar.ac.id/index.php/jurnal-gramatika/index in Sumatra are presented to Indonesian textbooks that contain Javanese folklore (The Origin of Tangkuban Perahu Mount and Timun Mas). Basically, the story is lack of or not be able as a learning experience for students psychologically, due to the geographical, social, and cultural backgrounds do not support it. In accordance with Damono (1978: 4) revealed that literary works cannot be fully understood if it is separated from the environment or civilization that has produced them. Even though the building of character values in the original story must be adjusted to the cultural aspects and background of students in the context of local wisdom. One form of oral literature in Sungai Penuh City community is Kunun. Kunun is a kind of folklore told by a storyteller. Kunun develops as folklore in the form of oral spread with uneven distribution. This causes the longer the art of storytelling (Kunaung or Kunun) reduce and even disappear altogether. Whereas, the value of character education delivered through bakunun prose not only depends on the physical form of the text but also on the autonomy of the story. Autonomy is demonstrated by the interaction between the storyteller and the listener in the form of a situation and the atmosphere including expression, enthusiasm, high and low voices and many else. They could be as a material to understand the cognate system as a creation that is born and inherited in society as a legacy of ancestors (Pudentia, 2015: 224). The storytelling environment causes the literature embedded in the student's mind and becomes an unforgettable learning experience. Ricoeur used various concepts of autonomy; the autonomy (texts, actions, semantics) has same principle that oral discourse must be exceeded. The difference between various types of autonomy only lies in where the concept of autonomy is determined. There are three levels of text autonomy: Intention autonomy of writer, autonomy of social and cultural conditions, and autonomy of reader (Pudentia, 2015: 145). There are three theories: language function (Jakobson); the way of telling (Benveniste), and the axis of communication (Brown and Gilman) in order to the implied things in oral communication between the pronouncer/speaker/ narrator and listener/spoken to/the story's recipient can be involved as materials to understand the living cognate system in communicating way in a community (Pudentia, 2015: 224). Most of previous studies are focused on the contents of the text, both through its lexical system, phonological system, and the content of expressed things in oral data (or that has been transcribed). The teacher has able to introduce pure oral literature spread in the Kerinci area, the teacher's skill in stories telling and involving a certain environment of storytelling is also very necessary.
