Abstract

Persian language is developing among its enthusiasts, especially people who learn this language with special goals, including academic goals. These learners, whose first language is not Persian, turn to centers such as Jameh Al-Mustafa and other academic centers for research or study in their fields of interest and require skills in both language and specific knowledge. A proper and thoughtful response to this demand is an undeniable necessity. Therefore, a scientific approach with a research-based foundation should be adopted for curriculum development, syllabus design, and teaching to not only increase motivation in language learners and educators but also improve the quality of language learning while reducing financial resources consumption and preventing time waste. This article provides a descriptive method based on library studies that briefly reviews language teaching methods with an emphasis on teaching languages for specific academic purposes and two syllabus designs: "content-based" and "task-based". By collecting data on the task of Jameh Al-Mustafa Al-Alamiya, defining language for specific academic purposes, defining approach, method, syllabus design, types of languages for specific academic purposes, defining task-based and content-based syllabus designs, and measuring the correlation between languages for specific academic purposes and content-based approaches, it is suggested that a combination of task-based syllabus design at the elementary level with content-based syllabus design at higher levels be used.
