Abstract:

Silence is a key pedagogical issue in language education. Seen by some as a
space for thinking and reflection during the learning process, for others
silence represents a threat, inhibiting target language interaction which is
so vital during second language acquisition. This book eschews stereotypes and
generalisations about why so many learners from East Asia seem either
reluctant or unable to speak in English by providing a state-of-the art
account of current research into the complex and ambiguous issue of silence in
language education. The innovative research included in this volume focuses on
silence both as a barrier to successful learning and as a resource that may in
some cases facilitate language acquisition. The book offers a fresh
perspective on ways to facilitate classroom interaction while also embracing
silence and it touches on key pedagogical concepts such as teacher cognition,
the role of task features, classroom interactional approaches, pedagogical
intervention and socialisation, willingness to communicate, as well as
psychological and sociocultural factors. Each of the book’s chapters include
self-reflection and discussion tasks, as well as annotated bibliographies for
further reading.
