BASIC TECNIQUES IN SILENT WAY
1- Sound-colour chart:The chart contains blocks of colours,
each colour representing a sound in T.L.
2- Teacher’s silence:The teacher is not a modal. He has to
be silent to force the students discover by guiding,
motivating, prompting. Silence is a tool.

Students are encouraged to help another student when he
has a difficulty.
4- Rods:The students can see by visualized context.
Situations with rods can make the meaning clear, to
connect the language with the meaning.
5- Self-correction gestures
