Description :
English language teaching in the post- modern era has been a challenging task. With the changing learning needs of the of the learners, the objectives of teaching English have become changed. The assessment criterion has also become old fashioned to deal with the learning outcomes. So, in terms of the application of English pedagogies in the classroom, there are two fundamental challenges: first is the reviewing of English teaching objectives as per changing learners’ needs and second is to re-examine the current assessment practices to evaluate the learning outcomes. The present paper critically studies the issues of pedagogical confrontation with the English teaching objectives in post- modern period and the contradictory nature of present assessment practices with the post- modern pedagogies.
