چکیده | ||
Upon the continuing spread of English as the global language, there have been dissenting voices, albeit not resounding ones, from Muslim scholars lamenting the hegemony of Western patterns of thoughts and the relegation or denigration of Islamic ideology, values, and culture in education in general and English Language Teaching (ELT) curricular and pedagogic thinking in particular. Nonetheless, despite the current qualms, the practice of reviving language teachings based on Islamic sources and the socio-religious concerns of Muslim communities is still infrequent.Feeling the necessity of designing educational materials, I narrate an experience of composing nursery rhymes targeted at introducing body organs and their divine rights to young English learners through deriving inspiration from Islamic references like the Sublime Qur’an and Imam Sajjad’s Treaties on Rights (Risalat al-Huquq). I hope the modest experience would be inspirational for other language teachers and materials developers interested in carving out identity and ownership in foreign language teaching. | ||

چکیده [English] | ||
با گسترش روز افزون زبان انگلیسی به عنوان زبان جهانی، نارضایتیهایی ، هر چند نه چندان پر طنین، از سوی دانشمندان مسلمان در خصوص هژمونی الگوهای تفکری غربی در آموزش زبان انگلیسی و اضمحلال ایدئولوژی، ارزشها، و فرهنگ اسلامی در آموزش به طور عام و آموزش زبان انگلیسی و رویکردهای آموزشی به طور خاص به گوش میرسد. با این همه، علیرغم نگرانیهای موجود، تلاشهای اندکی در خصوص آموزش زبان انگلیسی با الهام از منابع و اصول اسلامی و دغدغه های اجتماعی- مذهبی جوامع مسلمان صورت گرفته است. با درک این فقدان، من در این مقاله از تجربه تهیه محتوای درسی برای فراگیران کودک و نوجوان زبان انگلیسی در قالب اشعار کودکانه با موضوع اعضای بدن و حقوق الهی آنها با الهام از منابع اسلامی همچون قرآن کریم و رساله حقوق امام سجاد علیهالسلام سخن میگویم. امید آنکه این تجربه برای سایر معلمان زبان و تدوین کنندگان مطالب درسی علاقمند به این حوزه الهام بخش بوده و گامی هرچند کوچک در هویت بخشی و مالکیت آموزش زبان بیگانه باشد. | ||
