Teaching in higher education has undergone numerous paradigm shifts from teacher-centred authoritative to learner-centredcritical and culturally responsive/relevant pedagogies. Further, single method-boundedness has been substituted by theintegration of pedagogies via eclecticism in the post-method contexts. Further, virtual learning and paperless classroom,which were not dreamed in the past, has become realistic because of the innovative practices in the domain of informationand communication technology in education in general and the pandemic situation created by COVID19 specifically. Theseshifts have sparked tremendous changes in the teaching field. Based on these presumptions, this article aims to envisageteachers’ multifarious roles to play and tasks to perform. To achieve this aim, I have adopted a document analysis methodthat lies within the typology of the qualitative approach. Moreover, I have found three main categories of teachers’ rolesincluding professional, administrative, and social. These roles present a portrait of wholistic teacher traits inside and outsidethe classroom. The study implies that teachers should be capable of negotiating their roles and tasks based on the contextsthey encounter.
