Post
Methodology: Kumaravadivelu
Kumaravadivelu (1994) identified what he
called the 'postmethod condition', a result of 'the widespread dissatisfaction
with the conventional concept of method'
Rather than subscribe to a single set of procedures, postmethod teachers
adapt their approach in accordance with local, contextual factors, while at the
same time being guided by a number of 'macrostrategies.
