Abstract

Narrative research is a qualitative research method that seeks to discover the personal narratives and experiences of individuals. Narrative is also our lived experience of life and includes various types such as biography, life history, oral history, etc. The aim of this research is to examine and analyze the narratives of instructors about teaching Persian (AZFA) about AZFA program and textbooks. The method is descriptive-analytical and its approach is pedagogical. The statistical population is AZFA teachers and the sample size included 20 of them. The data collection tool was a semi-structured questionnaire that was analyzed through coding. The research findings show that teachers paid more attention to situation-based and multimedia programs and books, they believed in the use of theory, program, model and pattern in the field of pedagogy, and considered the main problems of existing programs and books to be unnatural language, stereotyping, and incompatibility with the level of language learners. Their suggested topics, from beginner to advanced levels, did not have a specific order or logic, and they had the same opinion on how to apply the four language skills separate or integrated.
