    The Silent Way method focuses on having the teacher be mostly silent so that learners produce as much language as possible through writing, listening, speaking and reading. It aims to help pupils develop an internal sense of the language and increase self-esteem and language learning through practical use. While it works best in small groups and builds self-confidence, the rigidity and use of artificial situations has been questioned, as has its effectiveness for more advanced learners.
