MULTILINGUISME ET PROMOTION DU FRANÇAIS DANS LA TRANSFORMATION EDUCATIVE AU NIGERIA
type: item
description: Nigeria is characterized by remarkable linguistic diversity, with more than 500 languages spoken across its territory. This multilingual reality presents both challenges and opportunities for the educational system, particularly in a context where national languages coexist with international languages. Against this background, this article offers a theoretical reflection based on a critical review of the literature to examine the role of the French language in Nigeria’s educational transformation. It explores the linguistic, educational, and sociopolitical issues surrounding multilingualism, language policy, and the strategic role of French in education, regional integration, and national development. The article also highlights the contribution of key educational stakeholders such as learners, teachers, parents, and school administrators to the promotion of French within a multilingual environment. It argues that the promotion of French should not come at the expense of Nigeria’s national languages but should instead be guided by an additive multilingualism approach, in which languages complement rather than replace one another. The study concludes that a balanced language policy that simultaneously promotes national languages and French can strengthen educational inclusion, social cohesion, regional cooperation, and sustainable educational transformation in Nigeria. Résumé Le Nigeria se caractérise par une remarquable diversité linguistique, avec plus de 500 langues parlées sur son territoire. Cette réalité représente à la fois un défi et une opportunité pour le système éducatif ainsi que pour le développement national. Dans ce contexte, la promotion du français soulève des enjeux éducatifs, linguistiques et sociopolitiques qui nécessitent une approche équilibrée.

L’esthétique de l’oralité dans les récits antillais : étude de Texaco et pluie et vent sur Télumée Miracle
type: item
description: Résumé La littérature antillaise francophone se caractérise par une forte présence de l’oralité, élément fondamental de l’expression identitaire et culturelle des peuples martiniquais et guadeloupéens. Pourtant, malgré l’importance de cette dimension dans la construction narrative des œuvres antillaises, l’esthétique de l’oralité demeure insuffisamment explorée dans les études comparées portant sur les récits de ces deux régions en contexte. Cette lacune critique soulève la nécessité d’examiner les manifestations de l’esthétique de l’oralité dans Texaco de Patrick Chamoiseau et Pluie et vent sur Télumée Miracle de Simone Schwarz Bart. Le but est de démontrer comment les techniques narratives inspirées de la tradition orale contribuent à la représentation des réalités socioculturelles des Antilles françaises. La recherche adopte une méthode analytique et comparative fondée sur une lecture textuelle des deux œuvres. Elle s’appuie sur la théorie de l’oralité et sur la poétique de la créolité développée par Patrick Chamoiseau, Jean Bernabé et Raphaël Confiant, qui mettent en avant la valorisation de l’héritage oral dans l’écriture caribéenne. Les résultats de l’analyse révèlent que les deux romans mobilisent des procédés esthétiques variés tels que l’usage des proverbes, des répétitions, des rythmes de la parole, des expressions créoles, ainsi que des voix narratives inspirées du conte et du témoignage oral. D’un côté, l’oralité sert à reconstruire la mémoire historique et collective du peuple martiniquais, d’autre côté elle devient un moyen de transmission des savoirs, des expériences féminines et des valeurs communautaires guadeloupéennes.

La traduction du mélange de codes dans la littérature africaine postcoloniale : étude d’Ogadimma d'Ukamaka Olisakwe
type: item
description: Translation of code mixing integrated in post-colonial African novels remains a controversial issue in the area of translation studies. Some critiques oppose the explanation of the indigenous expressions that are embedded in code mixing while others stand firmly in support of explaining them in a glossary. However, since the translation of works in African literature is usually done by non native speakers of these languages, the outcome of the translation often raises challenges of inaccessibility of the cultural and linguistic nuances of the indigenous expression sin the target languages. Consequently, these expressions stand the risks of suffocation within the alien languages especially, when they are badly translated or totally overlooked by the translators. On this premise, this study aims, on one hand, to examine the translation of indigenous code mixed expressions in the novel Ogadinma, written by Ukamaka Olisakwe in order to justify the fact that bilingual glossary is indispensible in facilitating intercultural communication. On the other hand, it aims to examine how the strategies of comparative theory were applied in translation of code mixed expressions in the novel. The study reveals that the strategies are effective in translation of the code-mixed expressions. Majority of the code-mixed expressions are translated using literary translation and equivalence. The study also reveals that inclusion of the bilingual glossary greatly facilitates the understanding of Igbo expressions especially those who are not properly explained or contexualised in the original text. The study recommends the inclusion of bilingual glossaries in translated African novels in order to convey African indigenous expressions in the target language. Résumé La traduction du mélange de codes intégrée dans les romans postcoloniaux africains demeure un sujet de débat dans le domaine de la traduction. Certains critiques s’opposent à l’explication des expressions indigènes au sein du cont…

LA NÉGOCIATION DES TEMPS VERBAUX ET DES VALEURS ASPECTUELLES DANS LA TRADUCTION DU FRANÇAIS - ANGLAIS CHEZ LES ETUDIANTS DU VILLAGE FRANÇAIS DU NIGERIA
type: item
description: La traduction des temps verbaux et de l'aspect constitue l'un des défis majeurs de la traduction entre le français et l'anglais. En raison des différences morphologiques, syntaxiques et sémantiques entre ces deux langues, les étudiants universitaires rencontrent souvent des difficultés à rendre fidèlement les valeurs temporelles et aspectuelles du texte source. L’objectif principal de cette recherche est d’examiner les stratégies employées par les étudiants du Village Français du Nigeria dans la traduction du français vers l'anglais, tout en identifiant les erreurs les plus fréquentes liées à l'emploi des temps verbaux et de l'aspect. L'étude a adopté une approche empirique fondée sur l'analyse des traductions produites par les étudiants ainsi que sur des données recueillies au moyen de tests de traduction. L’analyse des traductions produites par les étudiants est basée sur les approches comparatives de Vinay et Darbelnet et équivalence dynamique de Nida ainsi que la théorie interprétative de Danica Seleskovitch et de Marianne Lederer. Les résultats attendus devraient mettre en évidence les principales difficultés rencontrées, les facteurs qui influencent les choix de traduction et les stratégies permettant d'améliorer les compétences traductives des étudiants. Les données ont révélé également une forte tendance des apprenants à privilégier des équivalences formelles directes plutôt qu’une approche interprétative fondée sur le contexte. L’étude a souligné l’importance d’un enseignement plus approfondi des systèmes temporels et aspectuels pendant l’apprentissage de la traduction à l’université au Nigeria.

Digital Language Movements in Nigeria: Challenges and Potentials for Multilingual Inclusion
type: item
description: This article examines the role of digital language movements in Nigeria and their contribution to multilingual inclusion in the country’s digital environment. Despite growing scholarly attention to digital activism, there remains a limited theoretical understanding of how such movements shape multilingual inclusion in postcolonial, linguistically diverse contexts such as Nigeria. This study addresses this gap by adopting a theoretical approach grounded in existing literature and conceptual analysis. Drawing on secondary data from scholarly publications, policy documents, and documented cases of online language advocacy, the study does not seek to quantify outcomes but to critically interpret patterns and implications of digital engagement. The analysis is carried out through thematic and discourse-based examination of existing sources to identify recurring dynamics, challenges, and potentials within digital language movements. The findings suggest that digital advocacy has contributed to increasing the visibility of language rights, fostering community–policy dialogues, and influencing emerging policy considerations. However, persistent structural challenges, including underfunding, limited political will, and unequal digital access, continue to constrain these efforts, particularly for rural populations and minority language speakers. While digital language movements are gradually reshaping national discourse on linguistic inclusion, their long-term impact depends on sustained institutional support, effective policy implementation, and the development of inclusive multilingual digital infrastructures.

Innovating French Language Pedagogy: Use of Digital Tools in the 21st-Century Classroom
type: item
description: In the contemporary educational landscape, teaching French as a foreign language requires a paradigm shift from traditional, teacher-centered methods toward dynamic, learner-centered pedagogies that integrate digital technologies and communicative approaches. This study examines how French language instructors can innovate their teaching practices by combining communicative methodologies with digital tools such as interactive platforms (TV5Monde, Duolingo, and Quizlet), social media applications, and artificial intelligence (AI)-driven language software. Drawing upon theoretical perspectives from constructivism (Vygotsky 1978), communicative language teaching (Hymes 1972), and digital pedagogy (Prensky 2001; Warschauer 2013), the article investigates how digital integration promotes learner autonomy, motivation, and intercultural competence. Using examples from Francophone Africa and global higher education contexts, it evaluates the affordances and limitations of technology-enhanced learning environments. The findings highlight that while digital innovation enhances engagement and pronunciation accuracy, challenges persist in terms of access, digital literacy, and teacher preparedness. The study concludes that effective French teaching in the 21st century must combine humanistic and digital approaches, fostering critical thinking, collaboration, and cultural empathy among learners.

MODIFICATION DE LA NATURE: UNE ÉTUDE ÉCOCRITIQUE DANS L’EMPIRE DU MENSONGE D’AMINATA SOW FALL
type: item
description: For a long time, humans are unaware that there is a period to treat nature with care. However, after some awareness, they react, either due to the unbridled proliferation of human activities, the expansion of needs and appetites resulting from overpopulation, or the enormity of powers arising from the progress of science and technology. However, humanity is on the verge of becoming the natural giant. In the study of Aminata Sow Fall’s l’empire du mensonge, she illustrates the theme of nature as a symbolic element to shed light on the truth of political and social events in Senegal. Through her descriptions of nature, she contrasts the beauty of harmony of the natural environment with the lies and corruption prevailing in the human world of Senegalese society. The author confirms how nature serves as a mirror of truth, revealing the flaws and hypocrisies of the described society. Employing an ecocritical approach, this study examines how Sow Fall portrays nature as a revealer of truth in her narrative. The purpose of this article is to explore how descriptions of nature illuminate sociological, political, and deceptive themes in the novel’s society, emphasizing the importance of humans embracing ecological relationship without destruction. Résumé Pendant un très long temps, l’homme ne sait pas qu’il y aura une période à user de ménagements envers la nature. Mais après quelques sensibilisations, il se réagit, soit par la suite de la prolifération effrénée des êtres humaines, soit par la suite de l’extension des besoins et des appétits qu’entraine cette surpopulation, soit par la suite de l’énormité des pouvoirs qui découlent du progrès des sciences et des technologies, ainsi, l’homme est un passe de devenir la géante naturelle. Dans notre étude dans L’empire du mensonge d’Aminata Sow Fall, elle démontre le thème de la nature comme élément symbolique de mettre en lumière la vérité de ce que se passe politiquement et socialement au Sénégal. À travers ses descriptions de…

CONVERGENCE DES STRUCTURES DE TEMPS ET ASPECT EN FRANÇAIS ET EN IGALA
type: item
description: La présente étude met en lumière des convergences fonctionnelles malgré des différences structurelles marquées. Cet article vise à analyser de manière contrastive les structures temporelles et aspectuelles de ces deux langues afin de mettre en évidence leurs similitudes fonctionnelles et d’en dégager les implications pédagogiques. S’appuyant sur une approche à la fois descriptive et contrastive, l’étude révèle des ressemblances dans les fonctions communicatives du temps et de l’aspect, bien que leurs modes d’expression diffèrent. Cette recherche est basée sur la théorie de la typologie linguistique de Östen Dahl (1985). Les données de la recherche proviennent essentiellement de sources secondaires, notamment d’ouvrages scientifiques, d’articles de revues et de documents consultés dans les bibliothèques et sur Internet. À ces sources s’ajoute l’observation personnelle du chercheur, qui a également joué un rôle important dans la collecte des données. Les données tirées des travaux scientifiques portant sur le temps et l’aspect ont été analysées de manière descriptive et comparative. Les résultats montrent que le français et l’igala distinguent clairement les trois temps fondamentaux le présent, le passé et le futur mais ne les marquent pas de la même manière. En français, certains temps sont principalement exprimés par la flexion verbale, c’est-à dire la conjugaison, et parfois à l’aide des auxiliaires être et avoir. En revanche, en igala, la flexion verbale ne joue aucun rôle dans l’expression du temps; celui-ci est plutôt marqué à l’aide d’adverbes temporels, de particules, ainsi que d’éléments lexicaux et contextuels.

Contacts de langues et narration enfantine en contexte post-impérial : La petite fille des eaux, roman collectif béninois
type: item
description: This article examines language contact in La petite fille des eaux (2006), a collective novel coordinated by Florent Couao-Zotti and written by ten Beninese authors. Inspired by a true story, the novel recounts the experiences of Sité, a ten-year-old girl subjected to the vidomègon system, a traditional child placement practice in Benin that has gradually developed into forms of domestic exploitation and cross-border child trafficking, particularly towards Gabon. Conceived as a collective literary and social initiative, the novel assigns each chapter to a different author while preserving the narrative continuity of a single child protagonist. It addresses both local and international readers through an accessible narrative intended to raise awareness of the contemporary transformation of the vidomègon system. Linguistically, the novel is written primarily in French, the institutional language inherited from French colonial rule, while incorporating elements from Beninese languages such as Fon through personal names, place names, cultural references and occasional lexical insertions accompanied by explanatory footnotes. Drawing on a qualitative analysis of selected passages and informed by Bakhtinian dialogism and postcolonial sociolinguistics, this article explores how the novel's linguistic practices reflect inherited language hierarchies. It argues that the text does not merely represent linguistic domination but stages a space in which language contact, collective authorship and child narration negotiate relationships between languages, identities and power in a post-imperial context. Résumé Cet article examine les contacts de langues dans La petite fille des eaux (2006), un roman collectif coordonné par Florent Couao-Zotti et rédigé par dix auteurs béninois. Le roman s'inspire d'une histoire vraie et raconte l'expérience de Sité, une fillette de dix ans soumise à la pratique du vidomègon, un système traditionnel de placement d'enfants au Bénin qui, dans le cont…

Résistance, agentivité, exil et (auto)reconstruction dans L’Interdite de Malika Mokeddem.
type: item
description: Questions of exile, displacement, and identity reconstruction have become central concerns in contemporary Maghrebi women's writing. Although existing scholarship has extensively examined themes of exile and identity in Malika Mokeddem's L'Interdite, however, relatively little attention has been devoted to the ways female agency functions as a mechanism of resistance and self-reconstruction. This study investigates therefore, the representation of female agency in L'Interdite with particular emphasis on exile and identity reconstruction. The article adopts Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak's Postcolonial Feminist theory because of its concern with the silencing of marginalized women, the politics of representation, and the recovery of subaltern voices within postcolonial societies. Using a qualitative research design, the study employs textual analysis to examine how the protagonist negotiates displacement, memory, cultural constraints, and gendered exclusion. Findings reveal that female agency is expressed through acts of self-definition, resistance to patriarchal and ideological restrictions, the reclamation of voice, and the reconstruction of identity across transnational spaces. The novel further demonstrates that exile, rather than functioning solely as a condition of loss, becomes a transformative site for self discovery, autonomy, and empowerment. The study concludes that L'Interdite redefines exile as a catalyst for female self-reconstruction and agency. It recommends increased scholarly attention to the intersections of gender, migration, and identity in Francophone North African literature and highlights the importance of amplifying women's voices in postcolonial literary discourse. Résumé Cette étude a examiné la représentation de l’agentivité féminine dans L’Interdite de Malika Mokeddem en mettant l’accent sur l’exil et la reconstruction identitaire. Bien que les recherches existantes aient largement analysé les thèmes de l’exil et de l’identité dans ce roman, …

A Comparative Psycho-Stylistics’ Critique of Le Clezio’s Onitsha and Amaka’s Rose and the Burma Sky
type: item
description: Two novels produced in a retrogressive narrative, and the impact of such retrogressive view on the narrators cum the writers – in a posteriori stance – make the writers’ identity and concern for their identity one of the themes of the novels. Their expressive patterns give room to relate the theme to identity assertion in a world in which the powerful nations make abstraction of identities that are not subservient to theirs – English, French and Italian, navigating African identity or being haunted by it refers. Onitsha - written by a male, J.M.G. Le Clézio, Mauritius French, is narrated by a female, the wife of the main character Geoffroy an Englishman; herself Italian French. Rose and the Burma Sky henceforth Rose, written by Rosanna Amaka, is narrated by a male from the perspective of grandmother’s experience. So, both novels are travesty of identities and characters, and to an extent anachronistic. However, the expressions or ego-laden thought patterns in them are shrouded in paradox and innuendo which prompt psycholinguistics and stylistics survey of the two writers. Their oblique style of writing is either to relate an identity of theirs that is not getting attention as it deserves in the troubles of the world imposed on them by the powerful nations who are in ‘hallucination’ of supposed glorious identity or civilisation quest riddled with war mongering – First and Second World Wars, moving to Third World War. Our psycholinguistic and stylistics analysis of the contents of the two novels reveals that their imaginary projection, covered in paradox and innuendo, is to reprobate the so called civilisation of the so called powerful nations as extremely naïve of what it takes to live a purposeful life; nay a civilisation that is more humane than theirs; that leads to the unity of the sub-races; working for centripetal culture that is panhuman.

Risikofaktoren und Resilienzstrategien: Stimmen nigerianischer Lehrender in German Studies
type: item
description: In jüngster Zeit ist die Resilienz von Lehrenden zu einem wichtigen Thema bei der Untersuchung ihrer beruflichen Entwicklung geworden, da man sich Sorgen über die hohen Burnout- und Abgangsraten unter ihnen macht. In Nigeria ist dieses Thema jedoch noch nicht direkt untersucht worden. Die vorliegende Studie beschäftigt sich mit der Kontextualisierung der Resilienzentwicklung von Lehrenden der German Studies an nigerianischen Universitäten mit dem Ziel, Risikofaktoren, mit denen sie im nigerianischen Kontext konfrontiert werden, sowie die zu ihrer Bewältigung angewandten Resilienzstrategien zu untersuchen. Zu diesem Zweck wurden Fragebögen an 14 Deutschdozent:innen verteilt und mit ihnen ausführliche, face-to-face oder online Interviews geführt. Sieben von ihnen sind Lehrkräfte mit Berufserfahrung von zehn Jahren oder mehr, während die restlichen sieben weniger als zehn Jahre Berufserfahrung haben. Die Daten wurden mittels thematischer Analyse induktiv erhoben und ausgewertet. Anschließend wurden die verschiedenen, insbesondere die für das nigerianische Umfeld typischen Risikofaktoren, sowie die treibenden Kräfte und Strategien, die zur Entwicklung von Resilienz bei Lehrenden geführt haben, erörtert. Aus den Ergebnissen geht hervor, dass Hochschullehrende der German Studies in Nigeria vor einem komplexen Zusammenspiel von strukturellen, institutionellen, finanziellen und persönlichen Herausforderungen stehen. Dabei liegen die größten Probleme in der hohen Arbeitsbelastung, dem Mangel an Ressourcen und qualifizierten Fachkräften, Dozentenstreiks und deren Auswirkungen, den niedrigen Gehältern, sowie im Mangel an einem förderlichen Lehr- und Lernumfeld. Dennoch zeigen die Dozent:innen eine bemerkenswerte Resilienz, indem sie mit Kreativität, persönlichem Engagement sowie Unterstützung durch internationale Institutionen, die Schwierigkeiten zu bewältigen versuchen.

REFLEXIONS SUR LA CORRUPTION DANS LA LITTERATURE FRANCO-NIGERIANE : UNE LECTURE DE LE PATRIOTE DE PETER NYAH
type: item
description: After more than half a century of political independence, the majority of African countries are still grappling with the same questions and difficulties regarding political leadership. It is believed that this political disease or anathema that has continually kept Africa in a state of perpetual regression was introduced by its pragmatism, the illegitimate use of power and the egocentric style of its political leaders who are belly or pocket-minded as opposed to a people-centred leadership. Thus, several authors, critics and political analysts have attempted to offer some explanations to these perpetual challenges of power and politics in Africa, and even in Nigeria, Peter Nyah belongs to this group. In this work, we seek to expose the ills of political leaders towards society, to create an awareness, to awaken the consciousness of the citizens to these vices and to show other related challenges that have greatly shattered the foundations of the society in Peter Nyah’s Le Patriote. The postcolonial theory is used in this work as well as the methods of textual and thematic analysis designed to bring about possible and desirable changes in models for a virtuous progressive leadership. It is discovered that corruption which goes hand in gloves with the abuse of power by African leaders, hinders Africa’s development. The study concludes that the establishment of a new regime could bring about the desired changes and safeguard the wellbeing of all the citizens. Résumé Après plus d’un demi-siècle d’indépendance politique, la majorité des pays africains sont toujours aux prises avec les mêmes interrogations et difficultés en matière de leadership politique. On pense que cette maladie ou anathème politique qui a continuellement maintenu l'Afrique dans un état de régression perpétuelle est née de son pragmatisme, de l'usage illégitime du pouvoir et du style égocentrique de ses dirigeants politiques caractérisés par un leadership de poche ou de ventre par opposition à un lead…

LES DIFFICULTES D’APPRENTISSAGE DE LA GRAMMAIRE DU FRANÇAIS, LANGUE ÉTRANGÈRE CHEZ LES APPRENANTS IGBOPHONES
type: item
description: Le travail étudie les principaux défis que rencontrent les apprenants de français langue étrangère (FLE) dans l’apprentissage de la grammaire française. La grammaire française se distingue par sa complexité structurelle, sa richesse morphosyntaxique et ses nombreuses exceptions, ce qui la rend difficile à maîtriser par apprenants non-francophones.Le travail étudie Les principaux que rencontrent Les apprenants de français, langue étrangère (FLE) dans l'apprentissage de la grammaire française.À partir d’enquêtes réalisées auprès des apprenants, le travail met en évidence les zones de difficulté les plus fréquentes d’usage des temps verbaux et l’application de l’accord dans la formation des phrases. Ces obstacles sont souvent à cause des interférences avec la langue maternelle, à un manque d’exposition régulière au français authentique, et parfois les méthodes d’enseignement trop abstraites. L’étude souligne l’importance de privilégier des approches contextuelles et communicatives de la grammaire, en l’intégrant dans des situations concrètes de communication plutôt que de la présenter de manière isolée. Enfin, le résultat de travail recommande l’usage d’outils numériques interactifs (applications mobiles, vidéos éducatives, plateformes en ligne) pour renforcer la motivation et favoriser l’autonomie des apprenants.

REMEMBER RUBEN : ECHOS DE L’AFRIQUE CONTEMPORAINE ET ENGAGEMENT DE MONGO BETI
type: item
description: Critical reflection on the writer's commitment to literature commence with Jean-Paul Sartre in his seminal work Situations II : Qu’est-ce que la littérature ? (1945). This period was characterised by a very tense political and social atmosphere around the world, and in this circumstance, writers were perceived as spokespersons of the aspirations of members of the society. With the euphoria that accompanied colonisation and independence, Mongo Beti, in Remember Ruben, makes a clarion call to current and future leaders to work for true independence of Cameroon and Africa. The writer's voice of commitment seems to have been abandoned by today's writers, hence the need to reread this committed work with a view of engaging those in power who are merely subjecting their people to Western diktats. As a result, Recolonisation of Africa is by its own sons is being witnessed. To understand happening in contemporary Africa as highlighted in Remember Ruben, the study adopts the postcolonial theory of Edward Said, Gayatri Spivak and Achille Mbembe that deals with the survival and reactivation of colonial mechanisms in the governance of the continent after independence. This article has established that the effective commitment of contemporary writers will contribute to the disappearance of the colonial heritage that constitute a total blockade to the advent of a new sovereignty and development of a true Cameroon and Africa. Résumé La réflexion critique sur l’engagement de l’écrivain en littérature prend son envol réel avec Jean-Paul Sartre dans son œuvre phare Situations II : Qu’est-ce que la littérature ? (1945). Cette époque témoigne d’une atmosphère politique et sociale très tendue de par le monde et face au climat régnant, l’écrivain est perçu comme le porte-parole des aspirations des membres de la société. Considérant les dérapages déjà occasionnés par la colonisation et l’euphorie des indépendances, Mongo Beti à travers Remember Ruben lance un appel aux présents et futurs …

LE MYTHE DE LA FEMINITE DANS LA PUTAIN RESPECTUEUSE DE JEAN-PAUL SARTRE
type: item
description: Cet article examine les mythes de la féminité dans La putain respectueuse de Jean-Paul Sartre, en analysant la manière dont les constructions culturelles et idéologiques ont historiquement confiné la femme dans des rôles prédéfinis : mère, épouse, maîtresse et être naïf. En s'appuyant sur les théories de Simone de Beauvoir, Lévi-Strauss et d'autres penseurs féministes, l'étude démontre que ces mythes : maternité obligatoire, soumission, passivité et naïveté ne sont pas les natures naturelles inhérents aux femmes mais socialement construits et imposés à travers la religion, la littérature et les institutions. L'analyse de la pièce de Sartre révèle que le personnage de Lizzie incarne plusieurs de ces mythes à la fois : sexuellement exploitée, politiquement manipulée et réduite à l'obéissance par un système patriarcal et raciste. L'article conclut que, bien que Sartre dénonce ces mythes dans sa dramaturgie existentialiste, sa représentation des femmes demeure paradoxalement sexiste. La littérature française, influencée par le féminisme, tend néanmoins vers un message d'émancipation et de libération féminine.

MIGRATION AND DIASPORIC DISILLUSIONMENT IN AMMA DARKO’S BEYOND THE HORIZONT
type: item
description: This study examined Migration and Diasporic Disillusionment in Amma Darko’s Beyond the Horizon experienced by African migrants as portrayed in Amma Darko’s Beyond the Horizon. Using a qualitative research design, the research investigates how the novel foregrounds the lived realities of migrants, particularly women whose journeys abroad are shaped by deception, abuse, and loss of identity. The analysis focuses on the protagonist, Mara, whose migration to Europe is orchestrated under false pretenses, resulting in her entrapment in a network of sexual exploitation. Findings reveal that migration in the text is not depicted as a path to empowerment, but as a disempowering experience embedded in patriarchal manipulation and systemic inequality. Mara’s struggles highlight the economic dependence, gendered violence, and social isolation faced by many African women in foreign environments. The novel also depicts a deep sense of cultural alienation, as Mara is unable to integrate into the host society or reclaim her cultural roots. Additionally, the narrative vividly illustrates the emotional and psychological breakdown of migrants when hope is replaced by exploitation and displacement. The study concludes that Beyond the Horizon functions as both a socio- political commentary and a cautionary tale about the hidden dangers of migration, particularly for vulnerable women. It recommends increased use of African literature in migration discourse, awareness campaigns in source communities, stronger legal protections against trafficking, and mental health support for returnees. The research affirms the power of literature to challenge dominant migration narratives and to bring visibility to the silenced voices of African women in the diaspora.

INTERDISCIPLINARY FRENCH CURRICULA IN NIGERIAN HIGHER EDUCATION: PROBLEMS AND PROSPECTS
type: item
description: French studies in Nigerian higher education have traditionally been organised as a monodisciplinary programme, with strong emphasis on teaching and limited professional diversification. In recent years, this structure has become increasingly problematic. Graduates face limited employment opportunities, declining motivation, and weak professional use of French after graduation. These challenges are further intensified by shifting educational policies, including the removal of French as a compulsory subject in the 2025 Basic and Seconday School National Curriculum. This paper examines the problems associated with monodisciplinary French curricula in Nigerian universities and assesses the prospects of adopting interdisciplinary French programmes as a sustainable alternative. Drawing on interdisciplinarity theory, human capital theory, and language policy perspectives, the study adopts a conceptual policy analysis approach grounded in interdisciplinary curriculum theory, to analyse the prospects of interdisciplinary French curricula in Nigerian higher education. The paper further reveals that French-only programmes are structurally vulnerable, narrowly focused, and poorly aligned with labour market demands. In contrast, interdisciplinary French curricula offer expanded career pathways, improved student enrolment, and stronger graduate relevance. The paper argues that combining French with fields such as education, international studies, translation, and communication enhances both academic value and employability. It concludes that curriculum reform through interdisciplinarity is essential for the sustainability of French studies in Nigerian higher education and calls for policy support from regulatory and institutional stakeholders.

L'EXISTENTIALISME ET LA RÉSOLUTION DES MENACES HUMAINES CONTEMPORAINES À TRAVERS LES MOUCHES DE JEAN PAUL SARTRE.
type: item
description: Existential threats caused by humans tend to prevent the sustainable development of modern society. These problems have become daily problems, so solving this problem will contribute to the development of society. This article explores the role of existentialism in understanding and resolving human threats, through the analysis of Les Mouches written by Jean-Paul Sartre. By examining the existential themes presented in the play, the author highlights how existentialism offers perspectives on individual responsibility, commitment, authenticity, freedom, and awareness in the face of threats. This study examines how existentialist philosophy, exemplified through Jean-Paul Sartre’s literary work, Les Mouches, offers insight into how to confront human threats. By analyzing the themes and characters of the play, we explore how existentialist concepts like freedom and responsibility can be applied to understanding and resolving human threats in modern society. Résumé Les menaces existentielles causées par les humains ont tendance à empêcher le développement durable de la société moderne. Ces problèmes sont devenus des problèmes quotidiens, donc la résolution de ce problème contribuera au développement de la société. Cette communication explore le rôle de l'existentialisme dans la compréhension et la résolution de menaces humaines, à travers l'analyse de Les Mouches de Jean-Paul Sartre. En examinant les thèmes existentiels présentés dans la pièce, l'auteur met en lumière comment l'existentialisme offre des perspectives sur la responsabilité individuelle, l’engagement, l’authenticité, la liberté et la prise de conscience face aux menaces. Cette étude examine comment la philosophie existentialiste, illustrée à travers Les Mouches de Jean-Paul Sartre, offre un aperçu de la manière de faire face aux menaces humaines.

LA MATERNITÉ CONTRARIÉE, LA STÉRILITÉ ET LE DEUIL DANS FUREURS ET CRIS DE FEMMES D’ANGÉLE RAWIRI
type: item
description: This study reveals the different representations of feminine pain, identity and resilience in modern African society. The study focuses on three main themes: motherhood as both fulfillment and social constraint, sterility as a source of stigma and self-discovery and mourning as a path towards emotional reconstruction. Through literary and thematic analysis, this research reveals how Rawiri gives a voice to silenced women, exposing the psychological wounds caused by patriarchy while celebrating the strength and renewal of African women. Our analysis is based on the theoretical perspective of sociocriticism. This work emphasizes that Fureurs et Cris de Femmes is not only a cry of pain but also a work of emancipation and hope. Résumé Cette étude révèle les différentes formes de souffrances et de résilience féminines dans le contexte de la société africaine contemporaine. L’étude mets en lumière trois thématiques majeures : la maternité comme symbole d’épanouissement et d’asservissement, la stérilité comme source de stigmatisation et de quête d’identité et le deuil comme processus de reconstruction intérieur. A travers une approche analytique et littéraire, cette recherche montre comment Rawiri exprime par la voix et les émotions dès ses personnages féminins, la lutte pour la reconnaissance et la liberté de la femme. L’auteure dénonce la pression patriarcale, mais célèbre également la force et la renaissance de la femme africaine. Notre analyse s’inscrit dans l’optique théorique de la sociocritique. Ce travail souligne que Fureurs et Cris de Femmes n’est pas seulement un cri de douleur, mais une œuvre d’émancipation et d’espérance.

THÉÂTRE DE LA MORT : POUVOIR NÉCROPOLITIQUE ET DISPOSITION SOCIALE DANS MONSIEUR NÈGRE DE FATOUMATA SY SAVANÉ
type: item
description: Power in postcolonial African societies is often subtle, operating through everyday practices that shape human behavior and relationships. In Monsieur Nègre (Savané 2013), these dynamics are dramatized through the domestic sphere, where dignity, agency, and affective bonds are gradually eroded under political ambition and social pressures. Close textual analysis, guided by Mbembe’s necropolitics (2019), shows how the character Broulaye’s personal and marital choices reflect broader socio-political structures, revealing the entanglement of private desire with public authority. The play demonstrates that violence is not always overt; instead, normalized practices produce ethical compromise, emotional estrangement, and the instrumentalization of relationships. Monsieur Nègre thus offers a nuanced critique of governance and social expectation, highlighting how ambition, corruption, and societal pressures silently but profoundly devalue life. This analysis underscores the capacity of drama to capture the internalization of power and the complexities of human relationships in postcolonial contexts. Le pouvoir dans les sociétés africaines postcoloniales se manifeste souvent de manière subtile, à travers des pratiques quotidiennes qui façonnent les comportements humains et les relations. Dans Monsieur Nègre (Savané 2013), ces dynamiques sont mises en scène à travers la sphère domestique, où la dignité, l’autonomie et les liens affectifs s’érodent progressivement sous la pression de l’ambition politique et des attentes sociales. Une analyse textuelle approfondie, guidée par la théorie de la nécropolitique d’Achille Mbembe (2019), montre comment les choix personnels et conjugaux du personnage Broulaye reflètent des structures socio-politiques plus larges, révélant l’entrelacement du désir privé et de l’autorité publique. La pièce démontre que la violence n’est pas toujours manifeste ; au contraire, des pratiques normalisées entraînent des compromis éthiques, un éloignement ém…

SUBORDINATION AND COORDINATION PITFALLS IN L2 FRENCH WRITING
type: item
description: This study investigates syntactic challenges faced by second-language learners of French. It specifically focuses on the production of coordinated and subordinated clauses. While these structures are essential for achieving advanced linguistic proficiency and narrative cohesion, they represent significant zones of “grammatical friction” due to their complex rules of symmetry, mood selection, and pronoun usage. Through a corpus-based error analysis of written compositions of 30 university-degree students of French between the sessions 2022 and 2025 in Akwa Ibom State University, this study identifies and categorizes recurring errors, such as faulty parallelism in co-ordination, the omission of repeated prepositions, and incorrect mood sequencing in dependent clauses. Findings suggest that many of these errors stem from inter-language interference (L1 transfer) and cognitive overload, where the learner prioritizes lexical choice over structural integrity. The result indicates that errors in subordination persist longer in the learner’s development than coordination errors, suggesting a higher level of syntactic maturity required for the former. The study concludes by proposing pedagogical shifts, emphasizing the need for “logic-based” grammar instruction to move beyond simple sentence construction toward mastery of complex French syntax.

EFFECTS OF DIGITAL MEDIA ON THE ACQUISITION OF LINGUISTIC COMPETENCY: THE USE OF ARTICLE BY UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS IN FULAFIA AND IBBUL
type: item
description: French as a language has good grammatical structure and linguistic pattern that requires adherence to achieve effective communication. Non-adherence to this structure often leads to grammatical errors and complication in interpretation. This research aims at determining how digital resources used as instructional materials can affect the use of articles in French. The study adopts a mixed-method explanatory sequential design with a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest control group structure. A sample size of 48 undergraduate FLE students, including 7 males (14.6%) and 41 females (85.4%) from Federal University of Lafia (FULafia) and Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida University, Lapai (IBBUL) were selected for case study. Pretest writing scores indicate moderate baseline proficiency in the correct use of articles with a degree of error of 40.38%, while the effect of instructional group was statistically significant (F (1, 45) = 16.42, p < .001), with a large effect size (partial η² = .26). This indicates that 26% of the variance in posttest writing performance in the correct use of French articles can be attributed to the use of digital media as instructional materials, independent of prior writing ability. These findings indicate that the degree of errors in the correct use of French articles is significant and that digital media used as instructional materials have positive effects on the choice of lexical diversity and grammatical accuracy at both articulatory and expressive levels. It is therefore recommended that increased exposure to digital instructional materials be encouraged due to its association with improved lexical diversity and grammatical accuracy and that teachers should ensure digital engagement and usage intensity in order to improve writing development outcomes among learners of French.

THE TRAJECTORY OF PAN-AFRICANISM IN AFRICAN LITERATURE: AN APPRAISAL OF FOLKTALES AND OTHER TALES IN AFRICAN ORAL LITERATURE
type: item
description: Pan-Africanism is a tenacious concept for a unified nation that has existed as a political movement until the 21st century where there has been a conspicuous artistic variation of which African oral literary artists have creatively used African oral literature to foster African solidarity. Hitherto, a dearth still remains in critical researches on the significance of the Pan-African tradition in African literature and how its manifestation are striving to implement the objectives of Pan-Africanism through this literary cannon. For this research, formalism is adopted as theoretical framework for the appraisal of African folktales. The folktale genre in African oral literature is purposively chosen because of its canonical example as a tangible evidence of the collaborative energies of contemporary artists and audience across Africa and its diaspora. The methods of analysis were critical and analytical. The trickster character in African folktales is chosen for its Pan-African coverage. Each trickster in many African communities is intertwined to its scene so that it can function in its meaning beyond the character roles ascribed to it as the protagonist of the text in order to teach morals embedded in the tale. Conversely, the tale emerges as a cultural material that projects the ideas of Pan-Africanism and authenticates the African sense of struggle, unity, survival and triumph. This paper therefore recommends the use of African folktales to teach morals and foster the idea of Africanism in African communities.

LA LITTÉRATURE GRAPHIQUE DANS SA MULTIMODALITÉ : UN OUTIL POUR ATTEINDRE UN PUBLIQUE DIVERSIFIÉ
type: item
description: Literature in its entirety is bulky, dense with its archaic vocabulary and structures, and this led to complexity of texts. These density and complexity of texts have made it difficult and tiring to teach students from diverse discipline whose attention span is low. So this study introduces graphic literature as a form of literature more suitable to reach diverse audience. Using the descriptive and socio historic approach, this study tends to bring out the challenges of teaching literature in diverse disciplines, give historical overview of graphic literature and its genres, and then present the graphic literature as a multimodal form to reaching a wider audience. This study tends to portray the graphic literature as a form of literature that enhances communication skills, foster critical engagement and promote cultural awareness using its multimodality and interdisciplinarity. RESUMÉ La littérature dans son ensemble est volumineuse, dense avec son vocabulaire et ses structures archaïques, ce qui a conduit à la complexité des textes. Cette densité et cette complexité des textes ont rendu difficile et fatigant l'enseignement aux étudiants de diverses disciplines dont la capacité d'attention est faible. Donc ce travail présente la littérature graphique comme une forme de littérature plus adaptée pour atteindre un public diversifié. En utilisant l'approche descriptive et sociohistorique, cette étude tend à faire ressortir les défis de l'enseignement de la littérature dans diverses disciplines, à donner un aperçu historique de la littérature graphique et de ses genres, puis à présenter la littérature graphique comme une forme multimodale pour atteindre un public plus large. Cette étude tend à dépeindre la littérature graphique comme une forme de littérature qui améliore les compétences en communication, favorise l'engagement critique et favorise la sensibilisation culturelle en utilisant sa multimodalité et son interdisciplinarité.
