A critical review of English language teaching and the postmethod era

This article is a critical review of practices in ELT (English language teaching) (particularly in Iran) and investigates to pave to way for partially-comprehended concept of post-method in the modern era. Accordingly, it tries to challenge some misconceptions prevalent in ELT contexts especially those ones presumed to or attributed to ELT practitioners and stakeholders. As such, the writer probes and poses some preliminary questions for which, many people conceive to know the answer, while it is not necessarily the case. In conclusion, the author believes that it is time to get into post-method era or welcome its revolutionary as well as humanistic principles.
