Abstract:

Silence in language learning is commonly viewed negatively, with language
teachers often struggling to interpret learner silence and identify whether it
is part of communication, mental processing, or low engagement. This book
addresses silence in language pedagogy from a positive perspective,
translating research into practice in order to inform teaching and to advocate
greater use of positive silence in the classroom. The first half of the book
examines the existing research into silence, and the second half provides
research-informed practical strategies and classroom tasks. It offers
applicable principles for task design that utilises rich resources, which
include visual arts, mental representation, poetry, music, and other
innovative tools, to allow both silence and speech to express their respective
and interrelated roles in learning. Comprehensive yet accessible, it is
essential reading for academic researchers and students in applied
linguistics, TESOL, and language teaching, as well as for language teachers
and educators.
 



1. Embracing silence in education; 2. The presence of silence in second
language acquisition; 3. Trends in silence research; 4. Elements that shape
pedagogy for silence; 5. Problematising silence; 6. Ways of addressing
classroom silence; 7. Online silence; 8. Coping with undesirable online
silence; 9. Silence in ELT task design; 10. Some ideas for silence research.
