Silent Way - Wikipedia: an approach to language teaching which encourages the teacher to be silent. I like its core tenets:
- Teachers should concentrate on how students learn, before considering how to teach
- Imitation and drill are not the primary means by which students learn
- Learning involves trial and error, deliberate experimentation, suspending judgement, and revising conclusions
- Learners can draw on everything that they already know
- The teacher must be careful not to interfere with the learning process
