TEFL IN THE POST METHOD ERA
Keywords:
Keywords: TEFL, Post Method Era.Abstract
Abstract. This study aims to review the implementation of steps in teaching
English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) from a post method point of view. The research
is an analytical study using a literature review approach to describe the results and to
draw conclusions. The results of the literature analysis show that basically there is no
fundamental theoretical difference between the method and post method. Regarding
the implementation of teaching English from the post method point of view, there is no
fundamental difference found in the steps of teaching English in methods that existed
before the era of the post method. Therefore, the energy of debate between proponents
of method and post method can be directed to find the best and appropriate steps in
teaching English to students.
