Hello, I am a graduate student in the United States, and I am currently working on a research project about the use of English in Iran. I am hoping that you all might be able to offer some insight into the use of English in Iran. I am hoping to gain a sense of how English is used in Iran, as well as the attitudes surrounding the use of English. I am contacting you because I would love to have a personal perspective from anyone who understands the everyday culture of Iran.
Some of the questions I am eager to find answers for include:
Is English widely used and accepted in Iran?
Are people eager to learn English, or is Persian the preferred language?
Are there any government regulations limiting or promoting the use of English?
When and how is English used?
Is English used for business communication, personal communication, or both?
What are your personal attitudes toward English?
Any insight you might offer would be greatly appreciated. I look forward to reading your thoughts on the topic.
Thank you for your help!
