• a dialogue with comprehension questions in Persian.
• an explanation of the grammatical point(s) introduced in the dialogue, which includes brief explanations in English, Persian example sentences, and their English translations.
• a short text in which the implicit focus is on the new grammatical point(s) introduced in the lesson, followed by comprehension questions in Persian.
• additional exercises for students to practice the grammar and vocabulary introduced in the lesson.
• a colloquial situational dialogue, followed by a table showing the relationship between the formal (or literary) and colloquial words and expressions used, as well as some additional related vocabulary.
