Iranian EFL Teachers’ Challenges with the New ELT Program after the Reform: From Dream to Reality

In each country, progress in education plays a significant role in human development,
socio-economic growth, equal opportunities, accessibility of skillful human
power, more welfare, and political stability (Rena, 2008). This view has led policy
makers around the world to enormously invest in education (Rena, 2011) and make
any attempt to create basic changes in the texture of education for further
prosperity. Thus, to drive in this path, educational transformations and reform in
curriculum are required to reflect the changes in educational theories and praxis of
the modern world (Fterniati, 2006).
