Postmethod Pedagogy and Its Democratizing Influence On Method

This article evaluates the method, which is a product of continuing efforts in language teaching and the quest for optimal instructional approaches, and the subsequent postmethod era that emerged in response to it. The analysis explores the democratizing impact of the postmethod paradigm within this context and handles its philosophical foundations, parameters, macrostrategies, and the evolving roles of teachers, learners, and teacher educators. By examining the interdependent cause-effect relationship between method and postmethod frameworks, the study highlights the limitations of the postmethod era. It investigates how democratization transforms this process to address its constraints. Through this lens, the article aims to reframe understanding of the postmethod revolution, proposing renewed perspectives on its future evolution by proposing “Glocal Language Teaching Approach”.
