Developing General Persian Course Planning Components and Their Case Evaluation

General Persian is one of the main subjects in the educational program of Iran s universities and higher education institutions. The general Persian course plays a significant role in raising students linguistic, literary, and cognitive abilities. For this reason, all students in different fields of study must pass this course and acquire the necessary skills within the framework of its teachings. Research shows that almost a thousand general Persian textbook books have already been written and taught in various universities. Considering the importance of the general Persian course and its effect on students linguistic and literary skills, there is no indication for writing a comprehensive general Persian book yet, and most of the authors have written books out of their taste. In the present study, while identifying the need for writing a unique general Persian book based on the principles of lesson planning, ten books used in Tehran universities were examined and evaluated. The findings revealed that most of the previously prepared books do not have the essential prerequisites of curriculum planning.
