Background of the study
In multilingual educational environments, such as those found in many parts of Nigeria, language barriers can pose significant challenges to effective teaching and learning. The integration of AI-powered language translators has the potential to bridge communication gaps and enable more inclusive learning experiences for students who speak different languages (Cheng et al., 2023; Mohammed, 2024). AI-powered language translators can assist in real-time translation, ensuring that students and teachers can communicate more effectively despite linguistic differences.
In Damaturu, Yobe State, where multiple ethnic groups and languages coexist, schools often face challenges related to language diversity. The application of AI-powered language translation tools could improve the educational experience by enabling students to access learning materials in their native languages or a language they are more comfortable with. However, limited research has been conducted on the practical application and effectiveness of AI-powered language translators in multilingual secondary schools. This study seeks to explore the role of these tools in enhancing educational outcomes in Damaturu’s secondary schools.
Statement of the problem
While AI-powered language translators have the potential to address language barriers in multilingual educational settings, their role and impact in secondary schools in Damaturu, Yobe State, remain under-researched. Many students in Damaturu face challenges in understanding instruction and academic content due to language differences, which may hinder their academic performance. There is a need to explore how AI-powered translators can help students overcome language barriers, improve comprehension, and promote inclusivity in the classroom.

An Investigation of the Role of Big Data in Personalized Learning in Secondary Schools in Damaturu Local Government Area, Yobe State
Background of the study
Big data refers to the large volume of complex and diverse data that can be analyzed to reveal patterns, trends, and associations. In the context of education, big data can be used to tailor learning experiences to meet the individual needs of students, creating personalized learning environments (Mishra & Gupta, 2023; Patel & Sharma, 2024). By analyzing students' learning behaviors, preferences, and performance data, educators can develop customized learning pathways, provide targeted interventions, and monitor student progress in real time.
In Damaturu, Yobe State, the use of big data in secondary schools is still in its nascent stages. However, there is potential for big data technologies to revolutionize the education system by helping educators deliver more personalized, data-driven instruction. This study will investigate how big data can be harnessed to support personalized learning in secondary schools in Damaturu, examining its potential to improve learning outcomes, student engagement, and overall academic achievement.
Statement of the problem
Despite the growing potential of big data in education, the application of big data analytics in personalized learning within secondary schools in Damaturu remains underexplored. Many students struggle with one-size-fits-all approaches to learning, which fail to address individual differences in learning styles, needs, and abilities. The lack of personalized learning opportunities may lead to disengagement and suboptimal academic performance. This study aims to explore how big data can be used to create personalized learning experiences in Damaturu’s secondary schools, as well as the challenges and opportunities associated with its implementation.
