Η διδασκαλία της γλώσσας στην ύστερη νεωτερικότητα: Αναζητώντας τους όρους μιας επιστημολογικής προσέγγισης

Secondly, we identify the basic cultural and social features of late modernity and present how these features are related to communicative language teaching methods. Finally, using Thomas Kuhn’s (1970) paradigm theory we construct an epistemological perspective which can show the epistemological conditions of language teaching in general
