Micro-strategies of Post-method Language Teaching Developed for Iranian EFL Context

Abstract

This paper is intended to develop some micro-strategies for macro-strategies proposed by Kumaravadivelu’s post-method framework. In his framework, he suggested ten macro-strategies, for each of which he suggested one or two micro-strategies. Some of those micro-strategies cannot be used or applied in Iranian context. The researchers decided to select 24 language teachers randomly to participate in the study. First, the macro-strategies proposed by Kumaravadivelu were taught along with the micro-strategies for each macro-strategy. However, the micro-strategies did not match the Iranian EFL context. Therefore, the researchers requested the participants to reflect and come up with some applicable micro-strategies for each macro-strategy. Then the micro-strategies suggested by the participants were trimmed and modified for better feasibility. Index
