Abstract

In an increasingly interconnected world, digital tools are rapidly revolutionizing the methods of teaching and learning foreign languages. In Madagascar, a nation undergoing continuous development, the use of the social platform Facebook is emerging as a powerful catalyst for practicing foreign languages such as French and English for secondary school students. In the digital era, where geographical boundaries are losing significance and learning opportunities are endless, the question emerges: "How can the use of Facebook benefit the learning of foreign languages in Malagasy secondary schools?" Despite the prominent status of these international languages and their importance for development, many challenges remain in making them accessible to all. Even after six years of studying English and starting French from their first year of school, secondary school students still face obstacles in learning and practicing these languages, particularly in vocabulary, pronunciation, grammar, oral expression, and motivation. In this context, a study conducted during the 2023-2024 school year over a two-month period surveyed 78 students in the 10th, 11th, and 12th grades at FJKM Rasalama Manjakaray College, Lycée Privé Fanovozantsoa Ivato, FJKM Fahasoavana Androndra College, FJKM Andriamanarefo High School, and Lycée Privé Rakoto Benjamin Jean Ambohidroa in Antananarivo on their use of Facebook to practice French and English in their daily lives. Simultaneously, 11 French and English teachers were also interviewed about the impact of this social network on their teaching practices and the learning of these foreign languages. The results revealed that many students use this platform as a valuable tool for learning and practicing foreign languages, particularly for acquiring new vocabulary and improving pronunciation, as well as in commenting on posts in French and English. Similarly, the teachers interviewed reported concrete benefits, such as increased student motivation through listening to and watching videos selected or recommended by native teachers or by the students themselves, as well as their active participation in French and English-speaking groups. Despite these advantages, spelling and/or grammar mistakes are observed on social networks, which may undermine their reliability as educational models. Therefore, it is important to find reliable and professional pages and groups, such as those recommended by teachers. The aim of this study is to highlight the importance and effectiveness of social networks as a platform for learning foreign languages in Malagasy schools. This underscores the vital importance of new technologies as innovative tools in the field of education in Madagascar, offering young people unprecedented access to educational resources.

Abstract

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted in 1948, remains a powerful testament to humanity's collective commitment to dignity, freedom, and equality. Emerging in the aftermath of global atrocities, it provided a framework for the protection of civil, political, social, economic, and cultural rights. Although Madagascar was under French colonial rule at the time of its adoption, the country drew inspiration from its principles when drafting its post-independence constitutions. Despite the global recognition of these rights, violations continue to persist, both internationally and within Madagascar, where political crises have exacerbated human rights challenges. Torture, arbitrary detention, and extrajudicial executions still occur, though efforts at reform have been notable, supported by various national and international programs. Since independence, Madagascar has faced repeated cycles of political instability, marked by popular uprisings in 1972, 1991, 2002, and 2009. Each of these events contributed to the erosion of the country’s socio-economic fabric, culminating in the 2009 crisis, which led to widespread poverty and weakened state institutions. Although constitutional order was restored in 2013, reinforcing human rights remains an ongoing challenge. The legitimacy of power and public trust in political leadership, particularly in nations like Madagascar where democracy is an imitation of Western models, is tenuous. Fundamental freedoms, though enshrined in the Constitution, are not always fully realized, especially concerning freedom of expression. Media ownership, concentrated among political elites and business figures, has compromised media independence and pluralism. Additionally, the political participation of women remains hindered by the absence of affirmative action and political will. Nonetheless, there are opportunities to address these systemic issues. Strengthening gender equality, enhancing media pluralism, and ensuring adherence to human rights principles are essential steps toward sustainable development and the promotion of democracy in Madagascar.
