We'd like to remind readers that the responses to queries are usually
best posted to the individual asking the question. That individual is
then strongly encouraged to post a summary to the list. This policy was
instituted to help control the huge volume of mail on LINGUIST; so we
would appreciate your cooperating with it whenever it seems appropriate.

In addition to posting a summary, we'd like to remind people that it
is usually a good idea to personally thank those individuals who have
taken the trouble to respond to the query.

Dear respected applied linguists,

When we talk about post-communicative trend in TEFL, what do we actually
mean? Is there really a post-communicative trend? If so what are the
characteristics of this trend? How is learning a foreign language seen in
this new trend? What is the new role of the teacher/learner? Do you think
there has been any significant shift from the communicative approach of the
1970s? Has there been any incorporation of the constructivist approach in
EFL, if so in what ways? Could anyone interested advise me more on this issue?
