Communicative methods in teaching English

• Students become independent 

DISADVANTAGES OF SILENT WAY

• The students do not understand the materials. because the teacher explains less.

• No repetition and no answer by the teacher, it will be meaningless for students.

• The students can not easily catch the materials given by the teacher.  

CONCLUSION

In the Silent Way students are seen as bringing a vast amount of knowledge with them in the classroom, i.e. their first language. The teacher capitalizes on this knowledge when introducing new material, always building from the known to unknown. The students begin their study of the language by studying its sound system. The sounds are associated to different colours using a sound-colour chart. These later to sound-colour associations are later used to help students with spelling, reading, writing and pronunciation.
