Abstract: (2007 Views)
In the present study, an attempt has been made to explain the theoretical elements of the transcultural approach (English as an international language) to learning English as a foreign language or as second language by introducing the philosophy of the English curriculum as a foreign language.The main points of the study are to determine the position of this approach among the existing approaches and its distinctive features in the realm of curriculum philosophy and also to examine its capacity to respond to the challenge hegemonic features of English in the age of globalization. The results indicate that the transcultural approach based on interdisciplinary research, provides explanations based on linguistic conceptualization relying on the cultural schemas of non-native learners and speakers, through which a variety of English worlds are recognized. It is known as a kind of English localization..
