The Silent Way method emphasizes student independence and active participation in language learning, with the teacher remaining mostly silent to encourage student interaction. It utilizes instructional materials like colored rods and visual aids that promote autonomy and self-correction among learners. The method focuses on a structured approach where learners engage with language tasks to discover and practice linguistic elements independently.

Typically follows a standard
format.
The teacher :
Models the approppriate sound.
silently points to individual symbols and
combinations.

Conclusion
The innovations in this method derive primarily
from:
The manner in which classroom activities are
organized.
The indirect role of the teacher to direct and
monitor learner performance.
The responsibility placed upon learners to
figure out and test how the language works.
Materials used to elicit and practice language.
