هدف تحقیق: بررسی سازماندهی ساختاری و آگاهی نسبت به خواننده در نگارشهاس متقاعد کننده زبان آموزان ایرانی است. پرسش های تحقیق: آیا زبان آموزان ایرانی به صورت خطی می نویسند؟ آیا شناخت و آگاهی نسبت به خواننده در نگارشهای متقاعد کننده زبان آموزان وجود دارد؟ نتیجه‌گیری: نتایج این تحقیق دلالت بر این دارند که زبان آموزان ایرانی در هنگام نگارش به زبان انگلیسی پیش زمینه فرهنگی خود را در نگارشهایشان لحاظ می کنند که این باعث نامفهوم بودن نگارش از دیدگاه مخاطب انگلیسی زبان می گردد

This study intends to examine how the culture can be transferred in Iranian language learners' essays. There have been some theoretical recognition based on this transfer; however, the study seeks the way to establish the notion of this theory. Considering the rhetorical aspects of Aristotelian tradition in the United States, this work suggests that current contrastive rhetoric should expand its research area by exploring origins of cultural, philosophical, social, and educational characteristics which have influenced rhetorical styles of written texts in many different languages and cultures. In working toward an extensive support for the development of a contrastive rhetoric theory, this MA thesis explored culturally-embedded world views, ways of thinking and logic, major concepts and precepts in classical Greek thought and rhetoric for the North American culture, and explained how those various characteristics have influenced the rhetorical styles of written texts for the respective and very different cultures. To test statistically the culture transferring, a corpus of forty persuasive essays written by Iranian language learners in both Farsi and English were collected and examined. The findings indicated that when these students write in English, they transfer their native language background to their essays. In the interim, another selection occurred to test these learners' audience awareness in which the research indicated that these students have no awareness about the audience. In fact, what they write falls into an empty space in which no reader is assumed. Based on the findings of this quantitative research, brief pedagogical implications are suggested..
