Social intelligence as shaped by Facebook use

Kadri Nawal, 
2021-12-01

Résumé: With the 21st century increasing globlisation and advent in technology, social media has become an integral part of the everyday life of many students. Various websites and mobile applications dedicated to social media notably twitter, Facebook and instagram are popular. As a matter of fact, Facebook is the most ubiquitous social networking site in students’ life; it offers an online platform on which users create profiles, interact and exchange content, share pictures and videos, discuss subjects, follow news, publish advertisements for group events, or play different games. This fact compels us to study its effects on their life. How Facebook shapes students’ life has been the focus of educators and researchers in the last decade. For instance, extensive research has recently been conducted on the effects of this social media on students’ well-being and academic achievement. However, little research is found on its effect on social intelligence, a critical aspect of students’ social life. As such, the present study investigated how Facebook use shapes students’ social intelligence. Specifically, we were interested in exploring how students understand and manage emotions and relationships via the virtual world of Facebook. Subjects were ninety-two (92) students from different Algerian universities. Data was collected via an online survey which aimed at exploring students’ use of facebook: intensity, awareness, attitudes and management. Results indicated a significant relation between Facebook use and students’ social intelligence. The findings also reported the benefits the students experience via Fecebook. However, the participants voiced some concerns regarding its effects. As an outcome of the study, a number of implications were developed.

Morphosyntactic Study of Urdu ESL Learners: A Derivation by Interface

Aqsa Younis, 
2023-06-30

Résumé: This study is an attempt to investigate the Urdu ESL leaners’ errors under the theoretical tent of Interface modular approach presented by the Noam Chomsky (1995). Interface Hypothesis is a perspective on interfaces in L2 acquisition that has gained a lot of traction compares various interface types in grammars that are close to native in order to discuss the nature of the end state knowledge of highly skilled L2 speakers. For conducing this study, interface hypothesis others have pushed this idea, which they have dubbed the Interface Hypothesis. The idea is that, in so far as near-native speakers have issues at all, these are likely to be related only with certain interfaces. The hypothesis has developed over time. The aim of this study is to analyze the interface of syntax/ morphology of L2 English of Urdu Learners. For the analysis of morphology/syntax interface, the data is collected from 15 students of Grammar Model high school through essay writing. On these domains the data is analyzed ; inflectional morphology, arguments, loan words and phrasal verbs. Through the analysis of these domains the interface of syntax/ morphology of students is analyzed.

ALLOCATION OF ZAKAT TO DEBTORS IN LAGOS STATE, NIGERIA: ASSESSING A NEGLECTED CATEGORY OF RECIPIENTS

Ashafa Saheed, 
2023-12-07

Résumé: Zakᾱt as a social safety net is divinely recommended to relieve different categories of vulnerable members of the society based on their predicament at specific time. These beneficiaries often times, are over shadowed by the Fuqarᾱu (Poor) and the Masᾱkin (Needy) such that it is unclear if other asnaf are considered for zakat benefit. On the assumption that Debtors (Ghᾱrimŭn) are often neglected from zakat benefit during disbursement, this study aimed at determining relevance of debtors as zakat beneficiaries in the contemporary context. The study investigated whether or not debtors are neglected from zakat benefit in Lagos state. It is a descriptive research design with analytical approach. Both primary and secondary data sourced from zakat reports and literature were analysed. In addition, zakat administrators were interviewed on administrative style and governance policy regarding allocation of zakat to debtors. Findings show that debtors were not neglected as generally believed. It was however, discovered that zakat allocation to debtors was low while debtor beneficiaries were found to be extremely few when compared with other categories of beneficiaries. It was recommended that zakat administrators should embark on upward review of zakat allocation to debtors while still maintaining strict adherence to the provisions of shari’ah in their administration. This research will shape governance policy on zakat administration as it affect allocation to debtors and modulate disposition of potential zakat beneficiaries among debtors.

The Reshaping of Language Learning Motivation during COVID-19-imposed Distance Learning

Schug Daniel,  Sarnou Hanane, 
2023-11-03

Résumé: Language learning motivation (LLM) has been a major focus in research over the last decades, though it remains difficult to define and measure. Some study LLM as a binary phenomenon, with certain learner orientations, such as extrinsic motivation, being at odds with others, such as intrinsic motivation. More recently, the general tendency has been to study LLM as a dynamic phenomenon, subject to frequent changes based on innumerable factors, including and especially the learning environment itself. The COVID-19 pandemic and the large-scale imposition of online learning constituted a major change in the learning environment for students around the world, causing students and teachers to rethink their attitudes and habits regarding language learning. This paper offers a rigorous analysis of recent LLM research to understand how online learning impacted language courses. The study revealed an increased focus on the learning environment, autonomous learning, and innovation in teaching practice. Conclusions show that, even as we return to in-person instruction, the pandemic’s long-term impact on language learning can already be seen.
