The Role of Language Learning with a Holistic and Subject-centered Approach for Students of Political Science and International Relations

Along with conspicuous changes in social, economic, and political arenas, teaching and learning methods have also drastically changed almost worldwide today. Unfortunately these voices have not been heard yet in most of the educational organizations including universities in Iran. English as a foreign language is still taught by traditional transmission model of teacher- centered education in most of the universities across the country. Syllabi are hardly developed based on the real need of the students, neither are teaching and learning methods. Disciplines are not touched on an integrated basis in most of the schools in Iran either. These together make the problem of this study conducted in a form of integrated approach. Certain English language teachers, some educational authorities, and a number of educators specialized in the focus of political sciences and international relations participated to help us conduct, find answers to questions and suggest solutions to the above problems. Information was gathered, managed and analyzed simultaneously along with the conduction of the research. The result showed that the outcome of English language learning in most schools in the country is almost dissatisfactory. The researchers suggest that a paradigm of subject-based holistic curriculum in which all dimensions of the learner are involved and issues integrated may solve the problem of language leaning in Iran.
