Hello Liqaa Habeb,
I really like your question which could be one of the issues teachers sometimes ask themselves, especially in the failure of being able to achieve their goals. To me, what makes language teaching so challenging, alluring, and enjoyable is that you mentioned above, always necessiating being mindful of these learning & teaching parameters as a teacher; therefore, looking for a single method of L&T could be less productive...
Hello,
Teaching and learning English have gone beyond the borders of the method era where teachers were simply actors blindly following the principles of particular methods. The postmodern philosophy of teaching and learning places a high premium on double loop approach in which language teachers act as writers. Under such perspectivization, teachers are open to all theories and methods suggested for language teaching . However, they try to validate such suggestions through research before actually applying them in the classroom setting. In the postmodern approach, teachers should not look for a fixed set of parameters . Instead, as Kumaravadivellu (2009) states, they should regard each particular group of learners as a unique sample with specific needs and they should use their knowledge of content and pedagogy effectively in order to satisfy those needs.
Best regards,
R. Biria
Dear Dr. Liqaa Habeb,
The field of foreign language teaching has undergone many changes since its base was developed during the early part of the twentieth century. Recently applied linguists and other language education experts have sought to discover principles and procedures of language teaching methodology. The findings of two other fields such as linguistics and psychology have had a considerable role in the development of language teaching methodology. However, the term, postmethod, is recently being used in language teaching circles to represent a seemingly new idea. In the first place, the postmethod condition questions the legitimacy of the concept of method and argues that language teachers are not to imprison themselves and their students in any method, even in an eclectic one. It is further claimed that the post-method condition enables teachers to construct classroom-oriented theories of practice. In other words, the postmethod condition gives the authority to teachers to make decisions and generate innovative techniques specific to their own classroom. Through this, the postmethod condition tries to search for an alternative to method rather than alternative method. The autonomous teacher based on principled pragmatism is given the right to devise a systematic, coherent, and relevant alternate to conventional methods of language teaching.
Thanks a lot dear Hulya Avci. I absolutely agree with you.

Dear Reza Biria and Ali Bahadoran Baghbaderani
I utterly agree with you that we are in a post method era but the problem is with the students in a college of education. They usually ask for such a method to apply in schools. Post- method era opens the door for a variety of techniques and strategies that may lead them to be in maze if they work without specific guide just like a method. Thank you so much dear colleagues for your professional comments.
Liqaa
It is so kind of you. Anyway, thank you for bringing this matter to our attention.
I recommend the opinion of Dr. Reza Biria and Dr Ali Bahadoran Baghbaderani in this context
Thank you so much dear colleagues for sharing your valuable opinions.
Liqaa
I am sorry Liqaa, I don't quite understand your question and judging from the responses, I would like to learn more. Could you please explain you question. Thank you in advance.
Dear Syamsul Fozy Osman
Learning usually occurs naturally, while teaching is a systematic process. So, how can we engage both to ensure full success of acquiring a foreign language.

Thanks for the enlightenment Liqaa.
In that case, I feel that we should give emphasis on the needs of the learning for the learners encompassing inputs from individuals and the society . Then only, can we develop the process. So, as the process is based upon authentic needs, then in will generate a natural occurrence of learning. Taking FL into context, the need will ascertain the contents and level of mastery required and hence appropriate lesson activities could be determined and designed.
Dear Syamsul Fozy Osman
Thank you so much for your addition. You are absolutely right that using content is a good way to proceed in foreign language naturally.
Liqaa
I think the answer by Reza Biria is sufficient to justify the question.
strategic teachers of the 21st century can gather teaching and learning together; they work as teachers and learners simultaneously; while they are empowering students with critical thinking abilties, he also uses his experience and beliefs to be an active member of his society learning more pedagogical content knowledge
Thank you so much dear Farangis Shahidzade for your cooperation.

In my opinion, the method of education is very important, but there is more importance, namely, the great use of language and practice
