This study discusses the Simalungun oral tradition, namely the Taur-taur Simalungun which began to be abandoned so that it was at the point of extinction because it was abandoned by some users of the oral tradition. One way to overcome this is to document the simalungun oral tradition. This research provides a solution to protect the oral tradition of the Taur-taur Simalungun from extinction. Taur-taur Simalungun is an oral tradition of the Simalungun community in the form of poetry and rhymes and contains stories, advice and satire. The aims of this study were (1) to describe the performance of the Taur-taur Simalungun oral tradition, (2) to evaluate the value content contained in the Taur-taur Simalungun oral tradition, and (3) to find a revitalization model for the Taur-taur Simalungun oral tradition.

The method used is an ethnographic method which includes in-depth interviews and participant observation.
