(一)短語綴屬：俗語、俚語、諺語、慣用語、歇後語、對聯、謎語、文字遊戲等等。
(二)各類型故事：包含寓言、笑話、神話、仙話、鬼話、精怪故事、傳說、童話、民間故事。
(三)民族故事：牛郎織女、白蛇故事、梁祝故事、孟姜女故事、西施故事、王昭君故事、楊貴妃故事、包公故事、關公故事。
(四)韻文學：歷代民間歌謠、說唱藝術、地方戲曲。

每單元教師講授內容，以中國歷代俗文學之資料為主；將近期末時，請同學分組上台報告，則以臺灣資料為主，以收相輔相成之效果。
至於授課方式，以教師講授、鼓勵學生參與討論為主要方式，並不定期視課程單元安排課程作業練習，以提升學生上課參與度，促進師生之間的交流。搭配以下二項活動：
期中考試請學生上台繞口令，教師將限定文本，並制定活動規則。
在學期結束之前，將請學生分組上台報告，自擇某主題、某體裁之俗文學進行團體報告，並請運用PPT、圖片、影音媒體等多元化方式分析，以臺灣資料為主題，呈現俗文學多元活潑之特質。
