some educators prefer to talk about the moral dimension of English teaching fostering a sense of social responsibility in students. William Kirby, Commissioner of the Texas Education Agency stated:
What good is it to teach our students to read if they only read degrading pornography? What good is it to teach students to write if they use their knowledge to write racist graffiti? What good is it to teach students arithmetic if they use their skills only to embezzle others?
Dear researchers, your great views are highly appreciated. thank u in advance
As John Dewey states , " education is not preparation for life; education is life itself." This is really true because education has a great bearing on future community needs. Accordingly, all types of education including language teaching should pay special attention to morals since to educate individuals in mind and not in morals is a great disfavor to society in general. In recent years, in moral psychology, moral philosophy, and moral education, a considerable amount of attention has been paid to the moral self and moral identity. The reason is that these factors have a powerful influence on learners' motivation and personality.

Yes. There is no doubt that language teaching plays a role in moral enhancement. Language is always the carrier of culture and language teaching includes culture teaching. So all the moral values will be taught though language and its literature and this will lead to moral enhancement
dear @ Sabri T. S. Ahmed , @ Reza Biria,@ Ashkan Latifi
your great ideas are illuminating. thank u for sharing them
I see that language is the most influential carrier in the mind of the recipient as well as behavior, but it is more credible in influencing the feelings of the recipient in terms and synonyms and eloquent words and proximity to the recipient's perceptions.
