Global citizenship education (GCE) is a pedagogical field established internationally in the past few years. It has been introduced to all countries, including Iran, where many English language learners are involved in the English Language learning process. Language textbook designers, as well as language teachers and policy makers also need to face English as the Lingua Franca (ELF) in the postmodern age. Accordingly, the focus of this study has been to investigate the implementation of GCE in Iran and how the awareness of GCE goals can relate to English language proficiency of individuals. To this end, a GCE questionnaire (Morais & Ogden, 2010) was translated into Persian and distributed among 400 PhD candidates of different majors in IAU, who were at the time involved in taking IAU English Language Proficiency Test (EPT). To investigate the relationship between the two main variables of this study, we used both descriptive and inferential statistics, including Analysis of Variance and linear regression and found out a significant relationship between the awareness of GCE goals and English language Proficiency. These findings indicate that English Language learning and the related contents can play a significant role in raising awareness regarding global challenges in the world. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
