> Can anyone outline the norms for English teaching in the rest of the region and the rest of the world?

I'd be interested in this too (or other languages, where it would be appropriate, such as the extent of French teaching in Canada, or Spanish in the USA). I suspect what Iran is apparently not doing any more is very uncommon around the world anyway.

English is tought as a second language (or third language in bilingual countries) in most of the world.

You would be hard pressed to find a country without ESL classes for it primary and secondary schools.
