 «After Methods, What Then?»

«I begin with a critical look at the history of ‘methods’ to examine whether and, if so, why a ‘post-method condition’ has arisen. Concrete suggestions for moving ‘beyond’ methods have been rare, and so I explain and illustrate some possible approaches to the development of contextually appropriate methodology – via sharing of locally defined successes, via engagement in realistic teacher-research, and via collaboration within teacher networks and associations. Finally, I return to history and suggest that another way forward may lie, paradoxically, in rediscovering useful traditions.»

Dr Richard Smith (Associate Professor, University of Warwick, UK) coordinates the TELC network for teachers of English in large classes and other difficult circumstances. He also coordinates IATEFL’s Research SIG, placing a strong emphasis on teacher-research, and is co-convenor of the AILA Research Network on Learner Autonomy. He has published widely in the fields of learner and teacher autonomy, ‘appropriate methodology’ and history of language learning and teaching.
