The document discusses three shifts that have occurred in TESOL methods: from CLT to TBLT, from method-based pedagogy to postmethod pedagogy, and from systemic discovery to critical discourse. It outlines Kumaravadivelu's analysis of the transitions in TESOL methods before and after 1990, moving from an initial period of awareness to a period of awakening regarding the limitations of rigid methods and the importance of local context and teacher beliefs. It questions how these changes in perspective have truly impacted everyday classroom teaching practices.
