Abstract

This paper is a theoretical discussion focused on post method characteristics and parameters proposed by Kumaravadivelu (1994, 2001, 2003, 2006). Based on these considerations, the paper discusses some
advantages and shortcomings by applying the post method pedagogy. The reflective paper concludes that postmethod pedagogy is an interesting alternative to teach, but it implies a challenge for teachers since they
need to take responsibility of their own professional development and their role as reflective and active teachers
