摘要:The study aimed at developing a hypothesized model and a validated
questionnaire of language education glocalization (LEG) for the first time to
accomplish systematic data generation and collection of the Iranian EFL teachers’
perceptions regarding the LEG. In order to develop the model, extensive readings
of the related literature were executed and expert consultation was conducted
leading to formation of a hypothesized model. To test the model a questionnaire
was developed and validated to tap the components of the model. Cronbach’s
Alpha coefficient was used to measure the reliability of the questionnaire
estimating 0.96 for the whole questionnaire and exploratory factor analysis along
with content analysis confirmed the validity of the questionnaire. After running
exploratory factor analysis, to check whether the questionnaire data fits the
hypothesized model of LEG introduced at the beginning of the study, a
confirmatory factor analysis was done. Then, the final version of the questionnaire
was administered to 270 language teachers to gather the data to feed it to the model
to see the extent to which the model fit the data. The results of the study revealed
that although the model has been the first one of its kind, it displayed a reasonable
degree of reliability and validity.
