Resumen

Dado que los profesores son considerados la parte principal del sistema educativo en la enseñanza de idiomas, y para investigar la Identidad Holística del Profesor de Idiomas (HILT), este estudio tuvo como objetivo examinar el papel de los factores subyacentes que dan forma a HILT con base en el marco teórico de la teoría fundamentada. . Además, se investigó el efecto interrelacionado del yo y la sociedad en la formación de HILT, diferentes aspectos de los sistemas personales y sociales de los docentes y las categorías relacionadas de la teoría fundamentada con base en el modelo de codificación. Los datos requeridos para el presente estudio se recopilaron a través de entrevistas semiestructuradas coherentes con la participación de 41 maestros iraníes que trabajan en escuelas, universidades e instituciones. Los hallazgos indican que el yo y la sociedad, como factores fundamentales, juegan un papel interactivo importante en la formación de HILT.
