  5. The Silent way • Caleb Gattegno • In the early 1970s • Premises • Teacher should be silent as much as possible. • The learnersshould be encouraged to produce language as much as possible. • The learners work with resources and nothing else. • Teaching should be subordinated to learners. • Silence makes students to concentrate on what is to be learned. 5

  6. Dr. Caleb Gattegno’s theory – Silent Way(SW)

  7. What is Silent Way (SW)? • Teaching is subordinated • Classroom interaction> Classroom transaction • Teacher keeps silent to observe students’ reactions. • Teacher’s actions should be easy to observed and be inspired students’ reactions spontaneously. • Consider students learning background and use students own experience to teach.

  9. Objective of SW Set up students’ inner criteria – Active in learning, self-correction Attitude –Responsibility (student center ) Independent and experimental learners

  10. Features of SW The knowledge of mother tongue. Focus on language learning, structure of language. No ”repeat after me”, students speak out.

  22. Evaluation Observe students performance. Make sure students not only can input but also intake. No compliments and criticisms. Improvement is the most important.

  23. Error Use errors as a basis for deciding whether further works is necessary. How to correct? Gestures (self-correct) Give right answers

  24. Advantages • Make students be able to think by themselves • Be dependent on learning • Establish a particular surrounding to make students learn L2 voluntarily

  25. Disadvantages/Difficulties • Student cannot understand what teacher mean totally • Students’ learning results are slower • Focus on building structure too much • Miss out cultural input through the language • Materials can cost a lot of time and money
