Students strongly agreed that social media can be used in the teaching and learning Igbo. But factors, such as cost and poor internet connectivity, unavailability of Igbo modules, and lack of computer sets with Igbo vowels are limiting factors.

社交媒体技术对大学生伊博语发展的影响——以伊莫州立大学学生为研究对象
本文研究了在奥韦里伊莫州立大学语言学学生中使用社交媒体在伊博语教学中的潜力。伊博语是尼日利亚伊博族的母语。采用描述性方法,包括问卷调查,对该校140名伊博语言学学生进行问卷调查。收集的数据使用SPSS软件包进行百分比和平均得分分析。结果显示,学生意识到社交媒体的存在。学生们强烈同意社交媒体可以用于伊博语的教学。但是,诸如成本和互联网连接不佳、伊博语模块不可用以及缺乏带有伊博语元音的电脑等因素都是限制因素。因此,学校可以为学生提供免费的互联网服务。Igbo模块可以准备好上传到互联网上。可以制造带有伊博语元音的电脑和键盘。
