Traditionalism is an intellectual movement in the critique of modernity that was founded by René  Guénon, a French philosopher (1886-1951) and was conceptually formulated by Coomaraswamy (1877-1947) and emerged as an important contemporary intellectual vement through the studies of Fritijf Schwan, Titus Burckhardt, Martin Lings, and Dr. Seyyed Hosein Nasr. Traditionalists have paid attention to the relationship between tradition and religion with modernity, but unlike some intellectuals and religious innovators, they do not think of a combined and selective approach in order to adapt tradition and religion to modernity, and they consider the solution to the crises of modern man to be a return to traditional principles. The most significant narrative of traditionalism in contemporary Islamic culture can be found in the works and thoughts of Seyyed Hossein Nasr. Due to his special understanding of the relationship between philosophy and culture in Islamic civilization, he tries to criticize Western modernity and the new philosophy associated with it .by relying on the tradition of .Islamic philosophy and the traditionalist narrative he presents.

The travelogue of William Franklin (1763-1839) entitled "Observations on the Journey from Bengal to Iran," written during the years 1786-1787 AD, pays particular attention to the religious beliefs and rituals of Iranian people. As an orientalist, Franklin, like other foreign travel writers, draws on the beliefs of the people as one of the themes of his travelogue to enrich his work with cultural significance and to preserve the customs and traditions of society from being forgotten, passing them from past generations to future ones. This research aims to identify the religious beliefs and Islamic convictions of the people of Iran in Franklin"s travelogue and seeks to answer the following central question: How do religious beliefs and Islamic culture influence various aspects of life in this travelogue?

In this study, documentary methods (descriptive note-taking) were employed for data collection. The scope of this research encompasses the entire text of William Franklin"s book "Observations on the Journey from Bengal to Iran." Additionally, characteristics of Islamic culture and the religious beliefs and rituals of the people of Iran were selectively extracted and compiled.

From Franklin"s perspective, Iranians possess commendable traits and characteristics rooted in their historical background, reflecting the culture and ancient civilization of Iran. These admirable qualities distinguish Iranians from other nations. Many moral attributes are derived both from Iran"s ancient culture and from Islamic teachings.

Based on William Franklin"s observations, it can be concluded that a significant portion of the beliefs and ritual literature of Iranian people is founded on the underlying layer of Islamic cultural systems, with its influence observable in various dimensions of people"s lives, especially in social aspects.

In this regard, the promotion of higher education, scientific and morally correct path seems more than ever necessary. Since mobile communication in collaboration with the media as game-playing makes the interaction among humans stable, in the current study, teaching English as an international language was examined in a blended manner in order to strengthen the communication lines among citizens from different cultures and nations and eventually make them develop friendly ties. To that end, applying an immersion education system, academic material was taught in English during one semester to 140 male and female students aged 21-26 with intermediate proficiency level through combining formal training with two kinds of games, namely, off the shelf and domestic. The design of the current study is a multi-dimensional one benefiting from formative tests during the process of teaching and learning, summative tests at the end of the semester, and a Likert type attitude questionnaire. Qualitative and quantitative analyses of data revealed a significant relationship between the application of English content reliant on the domestic Iranian-Islamic culture and improvement of Persian learner's English proficiency. Thus, it can be drawn that the domestic culture-based digital content can act as a mediator to shorten the path of learning foreign languages as well as to ease the interactions so that to develop friendship among nations.
