Background of the study
Multimodal translation integrates multiple forms of communication—text, images, audio, and video—to convey information effectively. In Nigerian Pidgin educational videos, this approach is increasingly employed to enhance learning by combining spoken language with visual and textual elements. Nigerian Pidgin, with its vibrant and dynamic nature, is widely used in informal education, yet translating educational content into this creole language poses unique challenges (Adamu, 2023). Translators must ensure that linguistic content, instructional graphics, and accompanying audio align seamlessly to deliver clear, coherent messages. However, discrepancies between visual cues and verbal translations, as well as issues with timing and synchronization, can lead to misunderstandings and reduced educational efficacy (Ibrahim, 2024). This study investigates the challenges associated with multimodal translation in Nigerian Pidgin educational videos by analyzing case studies, conducting interviews with educators and translators, and assessing viewer feedback. The goal is to identify best practices that overcome these challenges while maintaining both linguistic accuracy and visual coherence.
Statement of the problem
Despite the advantages of multimodal translation, Nigerian Pidgin educational videos often experience challenges such as synchronization errors, misalignment between audio and visuals, and inconsistencies in linguistic style (Adamu, 2023). These issues can confuse learners and diminish the overall effectiveness of educational content (Ibrahim, 2024). This study seeks to identify and address these multimodal challenges, with the aim of proposing strategies that enhance the integration of multiple communication modes in Nigerian Pidgin educational videos.
Objectives of the study:
- To analyze multimodal translation practices in Nigerian Pidgin educational videos.
- To identify synchronization and coherence challenges.
- To recommend improvements for enhanced integration.
Research questions:
- What multimodal challenges exist in Nigerian Pidgin educational videos?
- How do these challenges affect message clarity?
- What strategies can improve multimodal translation integration?
Significance of the study
This study is significant as it investigates multimodal translation challenges in Nigerian Pidgin educational videos, offering insights that can improve educational content delivery. The findings will benefit educators, translators, and multimedia producers by providing guidelines to enhance clarity and learner engagement (Adamu, 2023; Ibrahim, 2024).
Scope and limitations of the study:
This study is limited to Nigerian Pidgin educational videos and does not cover other types of multimedia content.
Definitions of terms:
- Multimodal translation: The process of translating content that integrates various media forms.
- Educational videos: Digital content designed for instructional purposes.
- Nigerian Pidgin: A widely used creole language in Nigeria.
