Abstract

The present study examines and critiques Persian-to-Persian books by Shokoofeh Shahidi. This book has been written for the purpose of teaching to those who have no familiarity with the Persian language. Its lessons begin with the teaching of the alphabet and deal with the teaching of the four times. This book is designed for a period of 90 hours. There are 85 exercises in this book. The 35 basic book exercises in the first lesson are used to teach the alphabet, and exercises 36 to 85 of the books from the second to the fourteenth book are included. The last two lessons of the book lack practice. In this study, we intend to critique this book based on the framework of Ellis (2003). According to the analysis done in the framework of this framework, it can be seen that in most of the exercises in this book, the design of the exercise is in the form of a writing exercise that you are currently studying. In this format, language learners' interaction is coma one-way; That is, the "teacher's teacher" in this regard suggests that the results of this study indicate that according to the type of exercises designed in this book, which is based on order training and mechanical activities that are sometimes written, this book can not be included. In the context of Ellis (2003), he considered the book to be central to interpretation, and the authors of this book, considering the form and format of the training designed by him, used more than the method of translation translation as a method of communication.
