Abstract
This study entitled Post Method Strategies in English Language Teaching
aimed to find out the strategies of post method used by teachers in ELT classroom and
to explore the experiences of the teachers in teaching through the principles of postmethod.
Descriptive
research
design
was
adopted.
Five
English
teachers
teaching
in
community
schools
of Lalitpur
district
were
chosen
using
purposive
sampling
to
gather
information.
Interview
guidelines
and
observation
checklists
were
used
as
tools
for
data
collection.
The
data
was
analyzed
and
interpreted
using descriptive
approach.
The
findings
of
the
study
showed
that
all
the participants
were
not
involving
students
to
talk
on topic,
using
indigenous
knowledge,
providing
materials,
treating
learners
as
cultural
informants
for
negotiation
and
fostering
language
awareness
and
cultural
consciousness
to
the
students. All
students
were
not
seen
with own ideas
and
opinion
and
working
in
pair
and
group.
It
is also
explored
that
the
tendency
to PMP
was
good
but
their
views
indicated
poor
in
application.
However,
they
seemed
quite eager
to
apply
in
their
classes
too but
they
forwarded
various
problems
and
challenges
for
adoption.
Teachers
were
habituated
on predetermined
methods so they
did not
like
to
shift
toward
PMP.
