Technique of Teaching

         The silent way is one of the effective language teaching technique. It is a pedagogical approach to language 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 language as possible. They have much time both to be exposed to language and to perform practice.
         The learning hypothesis behind the Silent way is that learning is facilitated if the learners discover or create rather than remember and repeat what is to be learned. Also, student learn more affectively through problem solving involving the target language. It view language learning as a creative, problem solving and discovering activity on which the learner is a principal actor rather than a bench-bound listener.
         Basically, in learning teacher prepare their student to have a problem-solving skill. And the silent way can be described as a problem-solving approach to language learning, and is summed up nicely in Benjamin Franklin's words: " Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn."
         I conclude that the silent way is an appropriate language teaching technique.
