THE SILENT WAY METHOD
I believe the principle that says the teacher should start with something the students already know and build from that to the unknow is nice because I think that is the way to get the students’ learning more effective because they start with something familiar for them.
But I do not like the part that says students can learn from one another, and the teacher’s silence encourages group cooperation because in my case I believe that the teacher is teacher because he/she wants to help the students during the process of learning, so could be odd that the teacher speaks when the students are lost, only.
