    Ferdinand de Saussures Contributions to the Development of Foreign Languages Teaching Curricula
    (ALDEBAL, 2025-01) Zainudeen, Musah Issa
    This study explores Ferdinand de Saussure’s contributions to the development of foreign language teaching methodologies through his foundational linguistic theories, particularly his view of language as a system of signs and relations. The research shows that Saussure’s ideas gave rise to structuralism approaches that influenced language teaching, especially the Audio-Lingual Method, and paved the way for applied linguistics. His influence continues to appear in modern communicative approaches. The study concludes that Saussure’s linguistic thought provides a solid theoretical basis for building scientifically grounded language teaching curricula, while emphasizing the need to reinterpret his ideas in light of contemporary linguistic and pedagogical developments

    Investigating The Effectiveness of Sexual and Reproductive Health Education Programmes Among Adolescents in Apam: A Case Study of Ghana Health Service and Camfed Initiatives
    (UniMAC, 2025-11) Badu, Ankomah Sakina
    Education on sexual and reproductive health (SRH) is one area that is essential for the welfare of teenagers, but there are obvious disparities between the policies and the implementation processes in semi-urban areas in Ghana. Although the initiatives between the data collection organization, the Ghana Health Service (GHS), and the Campaign for Female Education (CAMFED) have been fruitful, the problem arising is the high prevalence of teen pregnancy, STDs, and the unavailability of youth-friendly health care in the town of Apam, where the research was carried out. This study explores the efficiency of the SRH education programs implemented in the town. The study, based on Social Cognitive Theory, the Health Belief Model, the Theory of Planned Behaviour, and Ecological Systems Theory, adopted a mixedmethods case study design. In this study, quantitative data was gathered with the aid of a structured questionnaire comprising questions for 196 participants, while qualitative information was gathered through in-depth interviews with participants, parents, health professionals, teachers, and programme administrators of the Ghana Health Service and CAMFED. The Data was analyzed through descriptive statistics and qualitative interpretation. It was found that SRH interventions in Apam are pedagogically solid, participatory, and well received among all stakeholders. Adolescents showed marked improvement in knowledge, self-efficacy, communication, and awareness about health services. [However, incomplete follow-through, academic pressures, and resource limitations impeded effectiveness, lack of coordination among agencies, and existing sociocultural issues such as disapproval of parents and stigma associated with the community in Apam. Despite the fact that schools remained the primary setting, the majority of out-of-school youth remained neglected. The study concludes that although the outcomes of the GHS and CAMFED programs have been positive in improving the knowledge and attitudes among the group members, efforts must be made aimed at overcoming certain challenges in the implementation process. These recommendations include incorporating SRH education in school curricula, improving coordination, scaling up community-based programs, improving facilitator performance, and scaling up community sensitization. This research piece provides significant insights into the planningimplementation gap regarding adolescent SRH interventions in Ghana, as well as in other regions with similar settings.

    Investigating The Barriers to Women Farmers’ Access to Agricultural Extension Services in Ghana: A Case of Gomoa Duodukwa in The Gomoa East District
    (UniMAC, 2025-11) Osei, Samuel Amoh
    This study investigates the barriers affecting women farmers’ access to agricultural extension services in Gomoa Duodukwa, located in Ghana’s Gomoa East District. Despite women’s crucial role in agricultural production and rural livelihoods, their participation in extension programmes remains limited due to structural, institutional, and socio-cultural constraints. Guided by the Gender and Development (GAD) Theory and the Diffusion of Innovation (DOI) Theory, the study adopted a qualitative research design to explore the lived experiences of women farmers and extension officers. Data were gathered through semi-structured interviews and analysed thematically. Findings revealed that institutional weaknesses such as inadequate staffing, limited funding, and poor communication infrastructure significantly hinder women’s engagement with extension services. Socio-cultural norms, including patriarchal decision-making structures, time poverty, and gendered household roles, further restrict women’s participation and access to agricultural information. Additionally, women’s lack of land ownership and limited access to credit constrain their eligibility for extension support and training. However, the study also identified locally driven strategies for improvement, including the recruitment of more female extension officers, gender-sensitive training schedules, and the use of local languages in communication. The study concludes that equitable and gender-responsive extension delivery requires both structural reform and community-level behavioural change. It recommends increased institutional support, enhanced gender training for officers, and stronger collaboration with women’s groups and NGOs to ensure inclusive agricultural development.
