Abstract
)is research compared the impacts of Persian and English cultural background knowledge on Iranian EFL learners’ listening skill. To that purpose, the Oxford Quick Placement Test (OQPT) was given to 86 Iranian EFL students; 50 of them were chosen as research participants. )e respondents were then divided into two equal experimental groups (EGs) at random (Persian culture and English culture). A listening pretest was then given to both groups. )e individuals in both EGs were then given the treatment. )e researchers taught one EG by using the English cultural materials, while they taught the other group through the Persian cultural materials. )e data were analyzed by utilizing paired samples and independent samples t-tests after the listening posttest was administered. )e results showed that both EGs performed better on their posttests than on their pretests, and that there were no significant differences between the impacts of English cultural background knowledge and Persian cultural background knowledge on the listening skills of EFL students. )e implications of this research can persuade EFL English teachers to in�corporate more cultural-based materials into their teaching process
