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

This study examines child begging in Analakely, a neighborhood of the Malagasy capital, by exploring the socio-economic, cultural, and familial dynamics that perpetuate this practice. Through daily interviews with children and adults over five days, a deductive approach was used to test hypotheses based on Bourdieu's theory of genetic structuralism. The analysis reveals that children are often introduced to begging at a young age, internalizing values such as family solidarity, resourcefulness, and dignity in poverty, which reinforce their commitment to this practice. Social networks within these communities play a crucial role by providing children with the resources needed to survive and instilling in them a perception of begging as a socially and economically viable activity. This research highlights the need for an integrated and comprehensive approach to address child begging by targeting the underlying causes of this phenomenon.

Abstract

The physical and energy forms and patterns of creation are intrinsically tied to the numbers 3, 6, and 9. Each number corresponds to a different stage of creation, with sets of three and nine (33) denoting stage completion. The sets of three consistently lead us to the same order: 12 (3), 15 (6), 18 (9), 21 (3), 24 (6), 27 (9), 30 (3), 33 (6), and 36 (9). The goal is to investigate the wonder of numbers 3, 6, and 9 from science, religion, and human perception. 111 (3), 222 (6), 333 (9), 444 (12)3, 555 (15-6), 666 (18-9), 777 (21)3, 888 (24-6), and 999 (27-9) are among the triple numbers that appear in this order. It also repeats on the frequencies listed below, which are thought to be ancient healing frequencies: 147 hertz (12-3) - 258 hertz (15-6) - 369 hertz (18-9) - 471 hertz (12-3), 582 Hz (15-6), 693 Hz (18-9), 714 Hz (12-3), 825 Hz (15-6), and 936 Hz (18-9). The analysis demonstrates from both a scientific and religious standpoint.

The spread of fake news during the COVID-19 pandemic in Nigeria, as in many other countries, had significant effects, exacerbating the challenges faced by public health authorities, governments, and citizens. In Nigerian context, social media is a means of keeping up with occurrences all over the globe and is used to shed light as regards the Nigerian situation, the ability to sieve authentic information from an avalanche of half-truths and false information available on social media networks is a challenge in Nigeria. In Nigeria, tackling this issue effectively during the pandemic was critical to improving public health outcomes and societal trust. The paper argues that social media has become an essential part of human life as it allows remote creation of contents for the purpose of entertainment and dissemination of information, making information sharing easier and faster in Nigeria and the world at large. The paper concludes that addressing fake news requires a combination of education, regulation, and collaboration between governments, civil society, and media organizations. Thus, the outbreak of Covid-19 in Nigeria spurred a digitalized reaction with citizen surfing about Covid-19 content to gather information about the virus. Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and Twitter, appeared to be among the prominent platforms consulted by Nigerians to create awareness on Covid-19 in the country.
