EDITING OF RUSSIAN LANGUAGE LEARNING BOOKS FOR THE SEVENTH GRADE WITH CONSIDERATION OF THE HISTORY OF TEACHING FOREIGN LANGUAGES IN IRANIAN SCHOOLS

Abstract

The history of teaching foreign languages in Iran dates back to the establishment of Dar-ol-Fonoon (the Academy of Sciences), and the English and French languages have been the pioneers. Due to the expansion of Iran’s foreign relations with other countries, the policy of the Iranian government is to promote other languages at the level of schools and universities. The work shows the community’s need for French, German, Italian, Russian and Spanish languages. A plan has been put in place on the agenda of Iran’s Ministry of Education. This has led the researchers to study putting Russian in the high school curriculum and seek to develop related educational resources for the first year of high school. In the formulation of the mentioned educational resources, students’ age, the characteristics of native language, Islamization, localization, efficiency and up-to-date resources are of great importance. Phonetics, grammar and vocabulary for the development of teaching resources will be based on the acquisition of four language skills. Due to the age range of students, the use of audio-visual equipment will play a significant role in the educational process.
