METHODS: A Century-Old Obsession
Ironically, the whole of separate methods is no longer a central issue in language teaching practice (see Kumaravadivelu,1994,among others). That search might be said to have begun around 1880 with Francois Gouin’s publication of The Art of Teaching and Learning Foreign Language (1880), in which his series methods was advocated.
Why are methods no longer the milestones of our language teaching journey through time? our requiem for methods might list four possible causes of demise:
1. Methods are too perspective, assuming too much about a context before the context has even been identified
2. Generally methods are quite distrinctive at the early, begining stages of a language course and rather indistinguishable from each other at later stages.
