Technique of Teaching

The SilentWay is one of the effective languange teaching techniques. It is a pedagogical approach to languange teaching based on the premise that a teacher should be as silent as possible in a classroom (about 90% of the time). The learners, then, are encouraged to produce as much languange as possible. They have much time both to be exposed to the languange and to perform practice. The learning hypothesis behind the SilentWay is that learning is facilitated if the learnes discover or create rather than remember and repeat what is to be learned. Also, student learn more effectively through problem solving-involving the target languange. It views languange learning as a creative, problem-solving and discovering activity in which the learner is a prinsipal actor rather than a bench-bound listener. Basically, in learning teachers prepare their students to have a problem-solving skill. And the SilentWay can be described as a problem-solving approach to languange learning, and is summed up nicely in Benjamin Franklin’s word: “Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn.” I conclude that the SilentWay is an appropriate languange teaching technique
