Abstract

Language learning which develops in this post-global era of the industrial revolution 4.0 cannot be separated from post-methods. The post-method era is a condition that has been occurring in our current language education in which there are various efforts to reconstruct the relationship between theories and practices of methods (and approaches) based on contexts. In short, the post-method era enables teachers to construct classroom-oriented theories of pedagogical practice instead of knowledge-oriented theories of pedagogy. As a result, the post-method condition can lead to what is called “glocalization” (not “globalization”) in language pedagogy. The global principles, designs, procedures, and techniques of methods and approaches that the Western theorists have made are implemented grounded on what local teachers need, want, and experience in the classroom, thus the colonialism or marginalization which places the teachers as the passive consumer of the theorists’ methods and approaches does not happen. This glocalization in English teaching and learning, which is to do with post-methods, can influence or be practiced in many aspects, especially in interlanguage and culture, individual differences, and learning strategies. This paper reviews and highlights that post-method condition is related to glocalization in English language teaching and learning practices in terms of interlanguage and culture, individual differences, and learning strategies. It also puts forward some research questions for further studies, which may lead the researchers to obtain more information for promoting glocalization to enhance English language teaching.
