This study aimed at revealing the incidence of discrimination toward English asa Foreign Language students, the grounds on which it happens, its adverse effects on students as well as potential solutions to it. The data were collected through questionnaires and were further supported by interviews and classroom observations. The participants consisted of sixty-five Iranian students from a variety of ethnic, linguistic, and socioeconomic backgrounds. The findings indicated that nearly one-third of the students had experienced discrimination of one form or another. Students’ perceptions of discrimination were that it is based on skin colour, age, sex, social class, as well as political and religious beliefs. Furthermore, the findings showed that discrimination was perceived to have a negative bearing on students’ motivation and their overall ability by adversely affecting their class attendance, sense of responsibility, class performance, and assignment completion. It was found that teachers overtly discriminated against students by openly mocking them, neglecting to call on them for class participation, and unfairly assessing the students and their achievements. Some suggestions to raise awareness of implicit attitudes and biases, identify and end the practice of discrimination among English as a Foreign Language teachers included setting up teacher education programmes, raising learners’ awareness, raising teachers’ awareness of their responsibilities and students’ rights, institutional warning, punishing ‘discriminating’ teachers, and suspending teachers from work.  \nKeywords: discriminatory practices, English as a foreign language classrooms, language learners, language teachers, discrimination  \n1 *Corresponding Author.

Namen raziskave je bil ugotoviti diskriminatorno obnašanje do učencev angleškega jezika kot tujega jezika, razloge zanj, škodljive posledice za učencein mogoče rešitve. Podatki so bili zbrani z vprašalniki, intervjuji in zopazovanjem pouka. V raziskavi je sodelovalo petinšestdeset iranskihučencev iz različnih etničnih, jezikovnih in iz socialno-ekonomskihokolij. Ugotovljeno je bilo, da je bila skoraj tretjina učencev deležna raznih oblik diskriminacije, ki je po njihovem mnenju temeljila na barvi kože, starosti, spolu, pripadnosti družbenemu razredu ter tudi na političnih in verskih prepričanjih. Poleg tega so izsledki pokazali, da je diskriminacija zavirala motivacijo učencev in njihove splošne sposobnosti, saj je negativno vplivala na udeležbo učencev pri pouku, njihov občutekodgovornosti, učni uspeh in na opravljanje nalog. Raziskava je razkrila, da so učitelji odkrito diskriminirali učence na način, da so jih javnozasmehovali, da jih niso spodbujali k sodelovanju pri pouku in da sonepravično ocenjevali njihovo znanje. Predlogi za večjo ozaveščenost oimplicitnih stališčih in predsodkih za prepoznavanje in ustavitev diskriminatorne prakse učiteljev angleščine kot tujega jezika so vsebovali oblikovanje programov za izobraževanje učiteljev, ozaveščanje učencev, ozaveščanje učiteljev o odgovornostih in pravicah učencev, institucionalna opozorila, kaznovanje »diskriminirajočih« učiteljev in odpuščanjeučiteljev.  \nKljučne besede: diskriminatorne prakse, poučevanje angleščine kot tujega jezika, ","cbCaijTNG7rWqEAf","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijTNG7rWqEAf","pdf",189154,24,"English","# Introduction\n## Discrimination in academic and classroom contexts\n# Method and Participants\n## Data collection: questionnaires, interviews, classroom observations\n## Participant profile\n# Findings\n## Incidence and perceived grounds\n## Effects on motivation, attendance, responsibility, performance, and assignments\n# Teacher Behaviors\n## Overt discriminatory actions\n# Solutions and Keys\n## Awareness, education, institutional measures, and sanctions","[{\"question\":\"What was the purpose of the classroom survey?\",\"answer\":\"The study aimed to identify how often discrimination occurs toward English as a Foreign Language students, the grounds for it, its negative effects, and possible solutions.\"},{\"question\":\"How were the data collected and who participated?\",\"answer\":\"The study used questionnaires, supported by interviews and classroom observations.
