Although Chaichian ( 1997) investigated identity in diaspora among Iranian immigrants in Iowa, the findings of our study also corroborate the findings of Chaichian’s study in that English language learners in Iran still have a strong sense of attachment to their language, as Chaichian found in Iowa. In addition, Schumann (cited in Hoffman 1989) narrates her own experience in Iran and how Iranians tried to speak English before the 1979 Revolution to show a high social status even among their own Persian fellows. Hoffman ( 1989) also argues how Iranians in the USA conversed in English even with their own fellow countrymen in order to avoid formalities and politeness strategies in Persian, and as a way not to stand out among Americans. Interestingly now, this mentality has changed dramatically and as Hoffman further argues based on her interviews with Iranians in Los Angeles, she realizes how some families who resisted sending their children to Persian schools now feel regretful about it
