The silent way
- 1. DESI SUSANTI 141200889 PBI SEMESTER VI/UNIT 1 THE SILENT WAY
- 2. The Silent Way is a language-teaching method created by Caleb Gattegno that makes extensive use of silence as a teaching technique. It is not usually considered a mainstream method in language education. A. DEFINITION OF THE SILENT WAY
- 3. Teaching and learning activities in a silent way has the function to encourage student responses orally without direct instruction from the teacher. Teachers simply pointing to a chart that contains the vocal consonant. The teacher pointed out several times with silence. teacher gives examples of pronunciation, and appoint students to memorize up correctly. Cards and other objects can be used to elicit student responses. The teacher gave a response in the form of orders, inquiries, visual cues which are the basis of classroom activities. B. ACTIVITY
- 4. 1. The role of the student Students can develop a personality, autonomy and responsibility. Students should be aware that the skills acquired them dependent on themselves, and should be aware that the use of language is useful to learn a new language. Students should have better reasoning, which will help them to think way more active and creative, so that students can reapply teaching material that is given teacher.
- 5. 2. Role of Teachers Stevick defining a silent teacher's task in the following way: To teach To test To get your way out.
- 6. The following are some principle of the Silent Way regarding to foreign language learning. The work requires language learners to relate the linguistic signs to truth that they perceive with their sense Language is not learned by repeating after a model Language learners need to develop their own “ inner criteria” for correctness Meaning is made clear by focusing learners’ perceptions, not through translation. Reading is worked on from the beginning but follows from what language learners already know. PRICIPLES OF SILENT WAY
- 7. The procedures of teaching speaking skill through Silent Way: Teacher prepares some symbols, rods, pictures or others. Teacher models the appropriate sound after pointing to a symbol, rod, picture etc on the chart or on the board. Teacher silently points to the individual symbols, rods, pictures or others and combinations of them, and monitor students’ utterances. C. THE IMPLEMENTATION OF SILENT WAY METHOD
- 8. Teacher says a word and has a student to guess what sequence (of symbols, pictures, rods etc) comprised the words. The students repeat the words. If there are some students saying the words incorrectly, the teacher points another student that can pronounce the word correctly, and points another student who cannot pronounce the word correctly. If there are some students saying the word incorrectly, this activity can be done like step 6.
- 9. Sound-color chart teacher's silence peer correction rods self-correction gestures word charts, structured feedback. D. TECHNIQUES
- 10. A set of Cuisenaire rods E. TEACHING MATERIALS
- 11. The rods are used in a wide variety of situations in the classroom. At the beginning stages they can be used to practice colors and numbers, and later they can be used in more complex grammar. For example, to teach prepositions the teacher could use the statement "The blue rod is between the green one and the yellow one". They can also be used more abstractly, perhaps to represent a clock or the floor plan of a house.
- 12. STUDENT INTERACT NOT ONLY WITH TEACHERS BUT ALSO WITH EACH OTHERS STUDENT CORRECT THE ERRORS THEMSELVES AND TEACHERS VIEW THESE ERROR AS THE RESPONSES TO THE RESPONSES TO THE TEACHING AND GIVE STUDENTS SOME HINTS AND HELP BECAUSE SILENT WAY TEACHERS SPEAK SO LITTLE, THEY ARE FREE TO OBSERVE THEIR STUDENT CAREFULLY AND BE AVAILABLE TO THEM. F.ADVANTAGES
- 13. Teacher must know their teaching objectives clearly and make use of the teaching aids effectively. Student may be confused with the symbolsof the colored wooden rods. Student waste too much time struggling with a concept that would be easily clarified by the teacher’s direct guide. It is difficult for teacher’s to evaluate student’s progress in their learning process. G.DISADVANTAGES
