Abstract: This investigation was carried out to explore EFL teachers' understating and perception of postmethod paradigm in English language teaching (ELT). It also aimed at EFL teachers' evaluation and implementation of this pedagogy in their profession. To do so, as a qualitative research method, semi-structured interview was applied. Seven Iranian EFL teachers participated in the interview sessions. The sessions were audio recorded for further analysis. The results of the data analysis showed that majority of the teachers were not fully aware of the nature of postmethod pedagogy. In addition, most of the EFL teachers were found to make the least use of this paradigm in their teaching career. The study ends with recommendations for ELT in educational system of Iran.
