Davari-Ardakani ( 2006) found that there were no significant relationships among attitude to the Persian language, gender, birthplace, mother tongue, more than six month stay abroad, knowing multiple languages and length of residence in Tehran. In spite of the fact that Davari-Ardakani’s study suffers from some research methodological deficiencies – she did not utilize validated instruments in her study – and the fact that her research approach is somehow different from our research – she focused mainly on Persian and the language policy issues related to that – her findings and work on language policy, language attitudes and language awareness in Iran has been very helpful.
