Pedagogy
In the 1990s, the focus of language education shifted away from method, and towards other factors such as teaching techniques and class dynamics. This is known as the post-method era. There were a number of problems with the concept of method; it was seen as being too prescriptive, as not being quantifiable, and as often driven by the agendas of their creators. It was also observed that distinct methods have a large degree of overlap in terms of actual classroom practice, particularly at later stages of language study.
