As Farhangian Universities play a crucial role in educating soon-to-be teachers, the program being developed for students of this university needs to be meticulously developed in order to fulfill the crucial role of teacher training centers. Researchers of this phenomenological study tried to evaluate curriculum specified for TEFL students in Farhangian Universities by the implementation of SWOT analysis. Seven professors of Farhangian University in Mazandaran participated in this study to speak for their perspectives regarding the curriculum’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. They took part in interview conducted by researchers and their comments were transcribed to be segmented and codified in later sections. The findings of this study clearly demonstrated that this program suffers more from weaknesses and there are opportunities which might act as compensation for weaknesses and threats. The significant weakness of this curriculum that was elaborated by participants was misplacement of courses without any observation of necessary content knowledge and pre-requisites. Specification of courses exclusively for teaching was mentioned as one of the important strengths of this university.

Le français sur objectif universitaire : Analyse de la logique curriulaire de l’enseignement du français en Iran(مقاله علمی وزارت علوم)

تعداد بازدید : ۱۳۰ تعداد دانلود : ۱۰۱
La réforme curriculaire réalisée récemment dans le but d’améliorer le rendement du système éducatif dans le monde entier est due à l’insertion de l’approche par compétences. Ceci nous a amenées à effectuer une recherche sur la place du curriculum du FOU (le français sur objectif universitaire) en Iran. Ainsi, dans le présent article, nous avons premièrement passé en revue notre littérature de recherche et examiné la notion du curriculum. Ensuite, nous nous sommes penchées sur deux modèles curriculaires afin de repérer leurs principes sous-jacents : la pédagogie par objectifs issue théoriquement du béhaviorisme insistant sur l’atteinte des objectifs et l’approche par compétences basée sur une conception socioconstructiviste de l’apprentissage mettant l’accent sur le développement des compétences en contexte. Nous avons finalement analysé le curriculum de la licence de langue et littérature françaises, une des disciplines constitutives du FOU, mis en place dans les universités iraniennes tout en appliquant les concepts théoriques exposés dans l’article. 106 unités d’enseignement (24 UE en français général et 82 UE en français spécialisé) de ce curriculum, en cours depuis septembre 2020, ainsi que ses principales composantes à savoir les objectifs, les matières à enseigner, les démarches d’enseignement et l’évaluation ont été décortiquées. Cette étude a montré que le curriculum en question est encore loin d’être basé sur l’approche par compétences.

Due to its increasing role in language learning, Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL) is now widely studied. Much of the recent studies have focused on examining stakeholders' attitudes and investigating its impact on the employment of CALL. We followed a componential definition by considering more variables that allegedly define CALL and as such influence its integration into high school language learning curriculum. The context-related components of CALL were defined, and a total score was assigned which presented a broader understanding of CALL as a variable in the current study. Also, engaging more stakeholders in such studies is supposed to add to the validity and provide a more tangible picture. As such, this study considered four groups of participants, that is students, teachers, preservice teachers and principals. The findings revealed that all groups had moderate to high CALL scores, indicating acceptable CALL skills and knowledge to be gradually qualified to higher standards. Moreover, the study indicated the groups’ attitudes did not significantly predict the use of CALL in high school language learning curriculum. It is concluded that other variables, may play a more determining role in predicting the integration of CALL into English classes in high schools.
