Abstract :

دانستن یک زبان و ارتباط برقرار کردن با گویندگان آن زبان بدون تردید ما را به سمت آشنایی با فرهنگ آنان نیز هدایت میکند. تحقیق حاضر تلاشی است برای طراحی مدل معتبری از هویت فرهنگی زبان آموزان ایرانی. در ابتدا جهت پیشنهاد مدل، میبایست فاکتورهای مهم هویت فرهنگی براساس استنباط زبان آموزان کشف می شد. بنابراین با استفاده از ابزار مصاحبه، با 20 زبان آموز سطح پیشرفته که در موسسه زبان انگلیسی سفیر در حال یادگیری زبان بودند گفتگو شد و آنها نظراتشان را در مورد هویت فرهنگی بیان نمودند .در مرحله کیفی، با بررسی دقیق پاسخهای مصاحبه شوندگان، چهار فاکتور مهم هویت فرهنگی که شامل: "مذهب، فرهنگ، ملیت، و زبان" بودند استخراج شد. سپس براساس این فاکتورها، پرسشنامه هویت فرهنگی تهیه شد. بعد از آن ، در مرحله کمی، از تحلیل عاملی اکتشافی استفاده گردید. بعد از آنکه اعتبار و روایی پرسشنامه از طریق پایلوت شدن بر 183 نفر تایید شد، پرسشنامه نهایی در میان شرکت کنندگان اصلی تحقیق که 384 زبان آموز بودند توزیع شد. سپس برای بررسی تناسب برازش مدل با داده ها از تحلیل عاملی ساختاری استفاده شد و شاخصهای برازش به دست آمده همگی از مقدار قابل قبول برخوردار بودند که نشان دهنده معتبر بودن مدل بود. نتایح این تحقیق می تواند به افزایش آگاهی در میان معلمان زبان و طراحان برنامه درسی منجر شود تا آنان بتوانند به زبان آموزان درزمینه چالشهای احتمالی در کلاسهای زبان انگلیسی کمک کنند.
