(Kumaravadevilu, 1992)

Eclectic method is not a method by itself. It means using different methods and different techniques of different methods depending on the age, gender, goal (short term and long term), available audio visual devices, available materials, learners’ needs, defined objectives of the course, views about learning and teaching, and views about dealing with strategies and styles.
