new beta ... also with fix for issue khaled mentioned

\starttext

\setupalign[r2l]

\definefont[arabicfont][Arial*arabic at 20pt]

\enabletrackers[typesetters.directions.one]
\enabletrackers[typesetters.directions.two]

\setupdirections[bidi=global,method=default] \arabicfont این (یک آزمایش 
1363) است. \par
\setupdirections[bidi=global,method=one]     \arabicfont این (یک آزمایش 
1363) است. \par
\setupdirections[bidi=global,method=two]     \arabicfont این (یک آزمایش 
1363) است. \par

\stoptext

no, but you can define start\stop commands that deal with such switches

also, you can combine fonts (and there a yet not documented auto 
script/language switcher .. i have no time now to explain that one)

btw, never use \textdir and \pardir directly (i might even define them 
as no-ops some day) but use the higher level alignment commands
