Recently, the association between religious beliefs and English language teaching (ELT) has gained great attention. Yet, when reviewing the literature in ELT, it becomes clear that studies have been mainly concentrated on other religions such as Christianity. However, the relationship between Islam and English language education has remained considerably under-investigated. This qualitative multiple case study is an endeavour to address this scholarly gap. For this objective, ten male and female Iranian Muslim English language teachers, including six male and four female, in Iran were selected through purposeful sampling. This study aims to investigate the link between religion and construction of professional identity. By using in-depth interviews as the main source of data, and following the principles of an inductive content analysis approach, the study indicates that Islam influences the participants’ professional identity in three ways, namely: (1) increasing the teachers' wellbeing, (2) affecting  their relationship with learners, and (3) providing them with a sense of duty to preserve the students’ religious values. Finally, theoretical and pedagogical implications as well as future research direction are presented.

 The present study aims at investigating the effect of using virtual social networks on the religious identity of high school students in Jahrom. The survey method was used in this research. The statistical population are whole male and female high school students in Jahrom, whose approximate numbers are about 7000 in the year 1400, of which 375 are selected as a sample by using multi-stage random sampling method. The research instrument is a questionnaire that has been used to determine its validity by face validity method and to determine its reliability by internal coordinated method by Cronbach's alpha method. The descriptive results revealed that the average score of students' religious identity in Jahrom was at moderate to high level. Analytical findings also showed that there was a significant relationship between cyberspace (total) and religious identity (total). Cyberspace (total) affects students' emotional and practical identity, but the relationship between cyberspace (total) and students' beliefs was not significant. Among the demographic variables, there was a significant relationship between gender, grade, field of study, type of schools, father's education, social class and students' religious identity. Explain the dependent variable in terms of the sum of independent variables. Target variables, activity and participation in cyberspace, cyberspace (total), attitude towards the contents in cyberspace, social class, gender, mother's job, field of study, father's job, father's education, are the strongest predictors of students' religious identity, respectively and these factors are able to explain 0.151 of the variance changes in religious identity.

In explaining modern identity based on religious identity and other research variables, considering the value of coefficient (R2), it can be said that 0.186% of modern identity changes are explained by independent variables, and religious identity with a beta value of -0.281 is the best. It is considered a predictor of modern identity. Also, in explaining religious identity based on modern identity and other research variables, according to the coefficient value (R2), it can be said that 0.365% of the changes in religious identity are explained by independent variables, and social capital with a beta value of 0.503 is the best. It is considered a predictor of religious identity.

In criticizing the approach of post-modern thinkers, the shortcomings of functionalist views, the backward and superficial view of religious identity and the lack of examination of the nature of the social values of religions have been discussed in the research.

After the Islamic revolution, Iranian society has a revolutionary identity that emerges in its institutions, especially education. The purpose of this research is to evaluate the students' identity based on the values of the Islamic Revolution and investigate the role of religious and national identity in their revolutionary identity. The method of this research is mixed method and has two qualitative and quantitative stages; In the first stage, the analysis of the content of the values of the Islamic Revolution from the statements of Imam Khamenei and in the second stage, the evaluation of the students' identity based on these values has been done. The type of first stage is content analysis and informations collected by library method. The second stage is done by correlational survey method and the tool of this stage is the modified questionnaire of Gharibzadeh and Hosseinpour (2018).

The statistical population were high school students who studying in 2017-2018. The sample size consists of 1915 people. The sampling method is purposefully available in the first stage and random cluster sampling in the second stage. The average of all three identities was higher than the assumed average (2.5), but religious and national identities were higher than the average (3) and revolutionary identities were lower than the average. There is a positive and significant correlation between these three identities and the results of regression analysis show that the cognitive (β = 0.012) and emotional (β = 0.047) tendencies of religious identity do not have the ability to predict revolutionary identity.Revolutionary identity and religious identity in cognitive and emotional tendencies are better than behavioral tendencies. If one knows more about religion or has an emotional attachment to religion, cannot say that revolutionary identity is certainly desirable; but if religion is actioned, the revolutionary identity will be at a desirable level. Also, as the awareness of national issues increases, the revolutionary identity decreases.

Identity is one of the most basic human needs. Humans are directly confronted with this issue as soon as they become aware of it, but the important point is the effects of the environmental situation on identity changes. Various factors affect the strengthening and weakening of collective identities. Recognizing these factors and measuring their status at the community level, in addition to being able to predict the future state of collective values, puts identity policy on a more precise and correct path. The present study aimed to predict modern identity based on national, ethnic and religious identity. The research community included all students of Tehran universities who were selected as a sample using 400 multi-stage cluster sampling method. The instrument used in the present study was the National and Social Identity Questionnaire of Solgi et al. Simultaneous correlation and regression were used to analyze the data. Data analysis was performed using SPSS-25 software. The results showed that national, ethnic and religious identities have a positive and significant correlation with modern identities and also national, religious and ethnic identities have the ability to predict modern identities. Therefore, it can be said that modern identity is not a competitor for national, religious and ethnic identity.

In this article, considering the field of study and gender, we seek to answer the question of how much identity is influenced by these two variables and what tendency is strengthened by strengthening each of the religious and modern identities? Based on the aspects related to the changes and implicit complexities in the status of identity, especially among students, the present study seeks to answer the main question of what is the relationship between the tendency towards modern values and religious identity among students.

The method of this research is correlation and its statistical population is all students enrolled in the second semester of 1397 in the faculties of technology, art and social sciences of the University of Tehran as three disciplines from three different fields in the mother university and the symbol of higher education in Iran. According to the size of the statistical population in different fields, 380 samples were selected by stratified random sampling. The data collection tool was a questionnaire whose validity was considered by the professors of social sciences and also the validity of the questionnaire through Cronbach's alpha test.

The results show that there is an inverse relationship between modern and religious identity, boys are more inclined to modern identity than girls. In further study, the difference between the means showed that there is a significant difference between the disciplines of the Faculty of Engineering and the disciplines of the Faculty of Arts in the tendency towards modern values. There is a significant difference between technical and art disciplines in the tendency towards religious values, so that technical students are more inclined towards the values ​​of religious identity. This result is fully confirmed by the significance coefficient of 0.000. However, there is no significant difference between technical and social sciences students due to the fact that the significance coefficient is greater than 0.050. There is also a significant difference between art students and social science students, and social science students are more inclined to the values ​​of religious identity. This result is reliable and generalizable to the statistical population due to the reliability coefficient of 0.001 which is less than 0.05. Interestingly, among students, technical tendencies compared to other students, tendency to modern values ​​and religious values ​​are more than other tendencies. The identity of students in these orientations is a combination and construction of the two mentioned values.

The quality of fluidity and interaction between the two categories of values has been internalized in students and can disrupt predictions of student behavior in future situations and also promise constructive interaction between two categories of resources within them. This article examines the formulation of identity as a fluid state under the influence of various sources that different people, especially student youths, who are in the most important stages of socialization. Numerous sources are very influential in shaping the identity of student youth. Although this article does not seek to create a dichotomy between modern identity and religious identity, it seeks to identify different formulations influenced by sources that have different weights among different groups of students. For this reason, in order to identify the elements and components affecting identity, these components can be distinguished from modern, national, religious, etc., but lived in practice and experience and based on the findings in the present study, it can be said that in general, these elements and components constitute the identity of students, so it cannot be reduced to one or two dimensions.
