Abstract	Postmethod condition refers to the qualities of the contemporary era in English language teaching in which previously well trusted methods are put under serious scrutiny and in which a body of methods and techniques collected from all previous methods and approaches are used pragmatically with a belief that such an eclectic practice leads to success. Such practices, under the postmethod condition, are in constant influx, bringing continuous changes in both pre-service and in-service professional development programs. The aim of this paper, thus, is to discuss the relationship between this postmethod condition and a variety of English language teacher education practices situated in Turkey. [This paper was developed partially from the author's doctoral dissertation granted by Pennsylvania State University in May 2002.] (Author).
