Towards the Critical Discourse Analysis of Imam Khomeini's Will: Determining Ideological Discourse toward EFL Learning

Abstract

It is an accepted truth that Discourse Analysis is the analysis of language in use.The results of the study showed how discourse analysis can be used in decoding facts and fore-grounded information in Imam Khomeini's will.The discourse description strategy was used to bring out the messages, patterns and themes.This study aims to discuss the realization of Islam and Islamic thought by means of language use in a political discourse that is primarily stranded in Norman Fairclough's tristratal framework in critical discourse analysis.For this, the discursive strategies of the Imam Khomeini the founder of Islamic republic of Iran were examined.In conclusion, the researcher showed that Imam Khomeini's will had a significant inclination toward applying verb tense as a means for ideological act in the text as well as action sentences and passive sentences.Moreover, Imam Khomeini enhanced pluralism against individualism.It seems that the contribution of critical discourse analysis in EFL refers to text appreciation, text critics, as well as enhancement of language competence in political and religious fields.
