Comments on B. Kumaravadivelu's "The Postmethod Condition: (E)merging Strategies for Second/Foreign Language Teaching.""Alternative to" or "Addition to" Method?

Liu, Dilin

TESOL Quarterly, v29 n1 p174-80 Spr 1995

This critique of an article by B. Kumaravadivelu argues that principles/strategies should not and cannot replace methods; it also takes issue with Kumaravadivelu's claim that his strategic framework is an alternative to, not simply an addition to, method. A reply by Kumaravadivelu is included. (Contains nine references.) (LR)
