后方法视野下的外语教学理论跳脱了用教学策略过度简化外语教学的陷阱,对教师角色进行了重新定位。教师赋权增能理论从教育管理学的宏观角度强调尊重教师个体的主观能动性与自主性。在后方法视野下的外语教学研究中结合运用教师赋权增能理论,将有力地帮助实现后方法理论关于教师角色的定位,使教师成为理论的探索者而不是使用者,进而提高外语教学质量。 The foreign language teaching theory under the latter method has broken away from the trap of over simplifying foreign language teaching with teaching strategies and repositioned teachers’ roles. The teacher empowerment theory emphasizes the respect of the individual initiative and autonomy of teachers from the macroscopical point of education management. The combination of teachers ’empowerment theory and foreign language teaching research under the latter approach will help to achieve the positioning of teachers’ role in the post-methodology and make teachers become explorers of the theory instead of users, thus improving the quality of foreign language teaching .
