“This glocalization in English teaching and learning, which is to do with post-methods, can influence or be practiced in many aspects, especially in interlanguage and culture, individual differences, and learning strategies. This paper reviews and highlights that post-method condition is related to glocalization in English language teaching and learning practices in terms of interlanguage and culture, individual differences, and learning strategies. It also puts forward some research questions for further studies, which may lead the researchers to obtain more information for promoting glocalization to enhance English language teaching."

Post-methods era, a term introduced or popularized by Kumaravadivelu (1994), is a foremost condition which has been occurring in our current language education in which there are various efforts to reconstruct the relationship between theories and practices of methods (and approaches). According to Kumaravadivelu (2003), a method is considered as a colonial construct because it tends to have the process of marginalization, namely the theorist produces rigid and fixed knowledge about methods along with their principles, techniques and procedures and the process of self-marginalization, that is the teacher or practitioner just consumes the rigid knowledge or the methods without considering the local or current contextual condition in the classroom. Owing to this rigid relationship between the theorist as the power center of language pedagogy and the practicing teacher just as the powerless periphery, the concept of the method is like a colonialist (the theorist) who marginalizes the practicing teacher. Hence, the concept of the post-methods era appears to abolish such a top-down marginalization in language teaching. While the conventional concept of the method enables the theorists to construct knowledgeoriented theories of pedagogy, the post-method condition enables teaching practitioners to construct classroomoriented theories of pedagogical practice (Kumaravadivelu, 1994). The postmethod pedagogy or era seeks to establish the idea that the methods are not dead yet, methods and approaches along with their techniques, procedures, designs that the teachers use in classrooms can be implemented or applied grounded on the local or contextual situations, developing the teacher autonomy. Everything depends on the teachers as the central decision-makers.

Caribou


01 ____Large hoofed animals belonging to the deer family, caribou and reindeer are actually the

02 same species — Rangifer tarandus. There are differences between caribou and reindeer though.

03 Caribou are native to North America, whereas reindeer are native to northern Europe and Asia.

04 Alaska does have some reindeer, however, imported from Siberia in the late 19th and early 20th

05 centuries.

06 ____Some people use the term "reindeer" to refer to domesticated work animals, such as those

07 pulling Santa's sleigh, but there are both wild and domestic herds of reindeer. Caribou, on the

08 other hand, are wild-living and long-migrating. Indigenous groups herd reindeer and use them for

09 their meat. That's also likely why reindeer evolved to be stockier than caribou.

10 ____Caribou make one of the world's great large-animal migrations. As summer approaches,

11 they head north along well-trod annual routes. Some herds may travel more than 600 miles to

12 get to their summer grazing grounds. They'll spend the summer months feeding on the abundant

13 grasses and plants of the tundra. This is also when they give birth. When the first snows fall each

14 year, the caribou turn back south. Herds of female caribou, called cows, leave several weeks

15 before the males, which follow with yearling calves from the previous birthing season.

16 ____They are taller and lankier than reindeer, likely because they evolved to make these long

17 migrations. They are the only deer in which males and females both have antlers—though only

18 some females have them. Cows have one calf each year, which can stand after only a few minutes

19 and move on with its mother by the next day.

20 ____Caribou are classified as vulnerable to extinction, one step above endangered. Because

21 they're migratory, changes in the landscape, such as the appearance of new fences or other

22 human development on their migration routes, can be especially disruptive. Climate change is

23 also a threat. As the Arctic warms, they become more susceptible to diseases and parasites,

24 which could quickly spread through a herd.
