Abstract

In any language course - including Persian - for foreign audiences, the selection of educational materials is one of the basic principles of each course. In fact, no matter what method we use to teach Persian, we are forced to select the part of the language that we intend to teach, and many factors are involved in this selection. Of course, it goes without saying that no teacher can teach the entire Persian language, and in addition, no teacher can be found who knows all the ancient Persian vocabulary, so foreign language learners should not be expected to be able to learn all aspects and vocabulary of the Persian language within a given time frame. Therefore, the question that gives consistency to the body of this research is, what are the effective factors in the selection of Persian language teaching materials in a given course and what methods are effective in determining the selection of educational materials? Years of experience in different courses of second language teaching centers have shown that various factors, including the volume of educational materials, the time taken, the purpose of education, and the level of selection, are among the most important factors affecting the selection of educational materials for foreign language learners. The results of this study show that each of the above-mentioned factors has multiple dimensions, each of which plays a prominent role in the process of selecting educational materials.
