Abstract
This
paper studies the elements of western culture in "English Time"
language training books, based on Bourdieu's practice and field theory. The
focus of this paper is language and language training books that can be
considered as a field which transfers the dominant group's culture to language
learners and forms their habituses. In this research, we aim at answering the
following questions: What kind of cultural elements exist in English Time
books? How can the effects of these cultural elements be managed and the
negative effects neutralized? To find the answers for these questions, we first
studied 4 editions of English Time books as well as their auxiliary training
materials (CDs, …) and extracted the elements of western culture that are
inconsistent with our national culture. Then we performed 6 deep interviews
with the lecturers of English Time books to find their point of views about the
western culture elements of these books. We analyzed their comments to find out
how can the cultural effects of these books be managed on the language
trainees. The solutions include explaining the cultural differences for
students during training and also preparing international courses for English
training.

Abstract
Social mobility takes shape of a physical aspect which makes it possible to translate downward mobility in the physical space. Huge inflation and decrease of purchasing power during the recent years have led to downward mobility of middle class in Iran. Various facets of decrease in physical and social space have to be studied. For this purpose, 20 cases who had experienced such situation have been interviewed. Making use of the most famous coding family of grounded theory, this research categorizes the interviews into contexts, causes, turning points, consequences of involuntary exit from city or neighborhood, and strategies of the outcasts. The research shows that people long after move to new place assume that residence in the new place is temporary. They are ashamed of ascribing themselves to that place trying to actively keep distance from the inhabitants. This along with exclusion from family-friend network of relations and the isolation resulted from this exclusion diminishes any possibility for their political agency in order to make a change in the state of affairs.
