Journal Article
The Impact of Language Barriers on Information Search Processes in Algerian Universities
2025
Overview
The study investigates the impact of language barriers on first-year humanities students at the University of Ghardaïa, focusing on their search for and retrieval of information for their academic studies. The research uses a two-year field experiment surveying 405 assignments and is backed by two focus groups. It reveals that whatever their level in foreign languages, students rely heavily on the language of instruction during information searches. They also rely on automatic translation when retrieving information sources in languages other than the language of instruction. The study concludes that language barriers negatively affect the information search process related to university study requirements; the study suggests solutions to enhance information retrieval in multilingual academic environments, highlighting the importance of university professors and tools such as automatic translation.
