The English language has taken an active role in the post-method era, and now the nature of teaching English as a foreign or second language has been altered to incorporate a variety of critical constituents within its scope. To exemplify, the concepts of teaching English as an international language, world Englishes, and critical pedagogy have started to play a crucial part in teaching English. In this connection, considering the enhanced and critical roles of these concepts in L2 teaching, the conceptual domains of teaching English as an international language, world Englishes, and critical pedagogy are outlined in the present conceptual paper. Accordingly, the approach of theory synthesis was adopted, and it was aimed to contribute to the existing literature on these concepts by giving a new impulse to teaching English in the post-method era. In parallel with this purpose, the concepts were first discussed within the framework of English language teaching, and a macro strategic framework was instanced to demonstrate a post-method way of teaching English as a foreign or second language.
