I really admire people who can use this method. Lots of patience needed! CONGRATULATIONS!

I'm sharing a example of an online French class taught using the Silent Way, with two beginner students. We've recorded everything since day one, and it's on this playlist if you want to see it live: kzread.info/head/PLDsGhyHi9rygG4qsj2TRwV8GSX-PdIa5X

This was my professor during the 2015 - 2016 school year and I can say the learning experience transformed my perspective of education as a whole. It was the only class I truly looked forward to attending where I felt excitement instead of dread. Piemontese was an excellent teacher, human, and made learning a new language a fun experience. I hope to see the silent way method become the standard for foreign language teaching everywhere.

Interesting - thanks for sharing this. Seems to be a very unique learning style, which people will either love or hate. Seems well suited to those with a predominantly kinaesthetic / tactile learning style i.e. respond to the ‘feel’ of things rather than the look or sound of them

The woman who talks about silent way has great English, I love it😂

It's the first time I am watching this video but this method of "The Silent Way" is fascinating in a sense that there is this calmness from the instructor. It looks like a less stressful technique which brings compassion into the classroom without putting pressure on the student.

Have you seen Don Cherry teaching with the Silent Way? I'm sure you'll like the atmosphere of his classes also: kzread.info/dash/bejne/hnaVs5aRl5rXeJc.html

Fascinating! I've never heard of this approach to teaching before. Would be really nice to experience this at one point.

Thanks so much for your video, it's so amazing to feel your love for what you do and you've really helped me to understand this method. =) best regards form Uruguay

This is great way to teach English language. I am really influence by this approach. This video is really informative. Thanks.

I just loved the video! The way you expressed not only the silent way approach but also what we as teachers must take into count in the order of language teaching ( care about the process) was just a plus. Thank you so much!

I was very disappointed Luisa wasn't able to come to France this summer to run a Spanish course. I hope I'll have another opportunity to see her working "live".

Just learning about this method from my TEFL program. I thought it was a crazy idea, but having seen some videos, I'm really interested. I can imagine myself learning a 2nd language this way. It's fascinating. Somewhat mimics first language learning in that it is associative and wires right into the brain. As an instructor-in-training I am very intrigued. I see myself throwing this into the mix of methodologies.

I really appreciate you helping us with this process.

When I learned this method In the textbook, I thought the class will be very cold without communication. However, like you said, I saw you enjoy teaching and also students participating positively. It takes time to teach language with this method, but I can probably copy some of the skills in this method.

we need to demonstrate this video for a class. Thank you for this!

It is a nice video that summarises the silent way method. thanks a lot

interesting video!Thank you! You help me to understand this method so well

I studied ESL education in college and I don't recall this method ever being mentioned. I'm currently taking the TEFL certificate through Coursera and ASU. It was not mentioned there either. It's such a shame that teacher prep education overlooks this method. I see it mentioned in academic and scholarly papers, but the fact it was never brought up during my ESL teaching courses is a disservice to future teachers. I love how Piemontese describes it here in the video. She is so passionate about what she does and clearly wants her students to achieve. I don't consider it a perfect method by any means but I love how student-centered it is!

Yeah so it fell out of popularity but bits and pieces of the theory and practice would've made it into anything involving 'The Direct Method' that is practiced today. i'm sure you would've studied that method

Kia ora ra e te tuahine. Ka mau te wehi ki te kite te haere o te ara wahangu (Silent Way). In 1976 with the blessing of Caleb Gattengo our Kuia the late Dame Katerina Te Heikoko Mataira redesigned the principles of the Silent Way to revitalise the Maori Language here in Aotearoa New Zealand. Te Ataarangi was born in 1979. After travelling overseas and picking up survival language in Central America I returned home and learnt my language through the Te Ataarangi method. We give thanks to Caleb Gatengo every year we start a new group of students. I write to you because as teachers we have taught the method for so long now we have forgotten the buzz of understanding that only a student feels when they are no longer translating. I would like to learn spanish. We have a colleague who has returned to Rapanui so we have to wait for his return. Thanks for sharing your work with your students

Does anyone know where you can find those coloured pronunciation-alphabet charts? Asking from Canada.

It is amazing!

How can students develop attuned listening skills if they never hear the teacher talk? Why rely on the students reading your questions that you have to point out word by word when you could just have normal flow of conversation?

J Gordon asked an interesting question. There are obvious advantages to having the students asking each other questions, rather than always relying on the teacher to do so. Most of the time the teacher won't even have to point anything, unless the structure is entirely new and cannot be guessed in the class. On the other hand, I can only think of few cases where it would add anything to have the questions asked by the teacher herself. In other words, we're trying to encourage interaction between students by reducing the teacher's chatter.

Maybe that is a disadvange 'cause the students don't listen to the correct pronuntiation of a word BUT they can't ask for it or even search for it because this method is about to learn by your own with the teacher as a guide.

Do students have to understand/study how the Sound Colour Chart works in order to participate effectively?

I´m really interested to know where there are schools who teaches English using this method.. If you can help me...

Appreciared thanks

Good way in teaching :)

i'm a gree with u that's really good way for teaching any languages and i hope to learn by this way *-* ..

Me encanta lo que tú dices. Inglés es mi lengua maternal y doy lecciones de lo (TESOL) A mi me gusta estar casi invisible a lo largo de las lecciones, ... Me gustaría aprender The Silent Way. Si usted tiene consejos me encantaría recibir los. Un saludo cordial.

Estoy estudiando Docencia en Idiomas, apenas estoy empezando pero en definitiva creo que este es el método mas interesante que he visto por el momento. Me agrado la idea de sin necesidad de libros uno puede enseñar otro lenguaje. Imaginen que tanto provecho le podemos sacar a este método en áreas marginadas.

I learned Japanese, Korean and French through the Silent Way. Once I learned an aspect of a language, it stuck with me.

Nice. :)

How interesting!! I get why the "b" and the "v" share the same color, and the "x" has mixed colors, but why is the "ñ" mixed too?

Idk much about Fidel Charts but by looking into ‘x’ it’s contains both sounds ‘k’ and ‘s’, similarly ‘ñ’ has both sounds ‘n’ and ‘y’.

Is the information in provided by the learners according to the Silent way authentic?

J'ai l'impression que ça exploite un peu le principe que la nécessité fait avancer les choses. Jacques Attali dit justement: "La parole est la première démonstration de la nécessité de l'autre." Est-ce que c'est un peu cela ici? Puisque le prof reste silencieux, la parole doit venir de l'apprenant, pour arriver à entrer en contact.

is it an approach or method?

It is a method! Approach: the level at which assumptions and beliefs about language and language learning are specified. Method: the level at which theory is put into practise in a series of choices about particular skills, contents and the order in which they must be taught.

If the basis of a language is not in its vocabulary, structure, or culture, then where is it?

I believe this method based on encouraging learners to show up them selves and have the opportunity to show up their cababilities . So it is about human ability to learn more than about teaching

Looks to me like Caleb gattegno was a troll level 100.

How are the students supposed to know the sounds and pronunciation? how can they learn the grammar this way? They will never have a solid understanding of even basic grammar with this. This class is probably fun and engaging but I don't think they will have a solid ground to stand on by this approach.

Learn the language without actually hearing it from a proper model. Sure...great idea. The aural input is BASIC for language learning! How do you think people has learnt trough history languages? Firstly listening them! It's clear why this method was a disaster and disappeared. Next idea will be learn to drive without an actual car?

Still, research shows that babies produce sounds themselves, many that are not in their environment or made by their parents, so imitation is not the primary start. Once babies are very good at making sounds and hearing the sounds they make, they start to identity the similar sounds made by others. In the Silent Way, there is a lot of production of sounds, but by the students, individually and in groups, after a brief use of the sounds by the instructor. Once students begin to discriminate their own sounds, the instructor's entrance into the conversations becomes a way for students to self-correct, e.g., "Her way of saying things is different from mine!". Simply listening and trying to imitate seems a good idea; however, it misses the real obstacle which is students learning to make the 'foreign' sounds themselves and develop a comfort level. Once this happens, and it only happens for most when there is no correction, they have a chance to begin associating the sounds of the new language with all the things they know about the world but can't yet tell in the new language.

@@girma1jo this theory works if you want to create a new subjective personal version of a language (useless). Otherwise it is simply stupid. That's why no one uses it To speak first step is listening, it has been always like this and will be.
