1- What is the role of attracting international students in transforming Persian language into the reference language of science?

Non-Persian speaking students, after learning Persian and studying in the fields required by their country or fields that are of their personal interest, in order to update their knowledge and publish articles, on the one hand, they will have to communicate with the university where they studied and the professors who taught them. They have received themselves from them, have a relationship, and on the other hand, it is possible to study the scientific materials of their field of study in Persian. Naturally, the beauty and richness of Persian will attract them. But it should be noted that the main condition being a reference in science is the production of practical scientific content in the form of books and articles in Persian. Also, Persian will become the language of scientific reference when international students feel that they can acquire all the knowledge they need in a complete and sufficient way and by spending reasonable costs in Iranian universities. In this case, they themselves will encourage their own people to study in Iran, learn Persian and read rich scientific works and books and articles in this language, and in this way, in a combined process, Persian language and foreign students who speak Persian, will contribute to turning it into a valid scientific reference.

4- What is the role of the fair in spreading the Persian language and realizing the authority of the Persian language?

The success of the fair can be effective in spreading the Persian language. In this context, it should be noted that first of all, the fair should not be one-sided, but in addition to what is presented by us, it should be possible to display their possessions as well. Secondly, it should be accompanied by their needs assessment, not to imagine that whatever is interesting to us, must necessarily be interesting to them as well. Thirdly, the fair should have diversity, beauty and appropriate arrangement, and finally, that experts in the fields of art must be used in shaping and structuring the fair. Too often, poorly displaying excellent subjects at fairs will become boring and obnoxious rather than helpful. Of course, it should be added to all these things that every fair needs officials who are cheerful, patient, kind and knowledgeable in their field of work.

We hope that we will be effective in attracting students with proper booth arrangement.

It will depend on the attraction of the fair and their participation. If the fair is attractive and students find themselves participating in it and can present their abilities and the charms of their country in it, they will definitely have high participation, but if it is one-sided, unattractive, non-artistic, sloganeering and propaganda, the participation will be low. It will be and it is better to abandon the idea of ​​holding such an fairs.
