The relationship between the post-method era and the teacher.

The classroom has changed through the years and context too, Teachers become aware of new techniques and methods, which makes their students, get FL easier, faster and in fun way. Methods, however, the term defined, are not dead. Teachers seem to be aware of both the usefulness of methods and the need to go beyond them, nowadays, those methods are directly in course books. If you do a corpus search of the collocations of the word method using a frame of contemporary American English online, you find that the most common collocation with colic it with method or an adjective, for instance, you get New, Scientific, Best, Effective, Simple, Other, Only, Different, Alternative, common, Direct and Traditional. There is very much a feeling that the methods are scientific, they are good, positive adjective and they associated with modernity.

The relationship between the post-method era and the teacher.

“ The teacher must really be himself and give himself, talk to real people about real things and then training his pupils to talk to one another about a real things” Billows.L. 1961. The Techniques of Language Teaching. p. 56."

Teacher obliged not to pretend fake feeling or emotion; the teacher must be realistic, have a sense of humour in order to get his students attention.  Students usually see their teacher like a model and a source of information, thus he can start topic talk about real things, logically and build anxiety for the students to increase SST in FL, giving students a space to express their feelings and develop their logic thinking.   

The other important method teachers must use is “drilling“, in order for the teacher to use drilling he must be well prepared. A Teacher has a big rule in facilitating difficult subjects for the students; English like other languages, the most difficult part of it is Grammar, therefore, teachers must teach grammar through conversation was grammar is being used in the background. Unfortunately, I have learned Grammar conversation through Grammar instead of learning grammar through conversation. Therefore, I hope with some methods and techniques I have acquired, I will be able to teach grammar through conversation.
