Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The Silent Way is a language-teaching approach created by Caleb Gattegno that makes extensive use of silence as a teaching method. Gattegno introduced the method in 1963, in his book Teaching Foreign Languages in Schools: The Silent Way.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Silent Way is the name of a method of language teaching devised by Caleb Gattegno. It is based on the premise that the teacher should be silent as much as possible in the classroom but the learner should be encouraged to produce as much language as possible.

Detailed explanation-3: -1. Learning is facilitated if the learner discovers or creates. The Silent way belongs to the tradition of teaching that favors hypothetical mode of teaching (as opposed to expository mode of teaching) in which the teacher and the learner work cooperatively to reach the educational desired goals.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Silent Way student is expected to become “independent, autonomous and responsible” (Gattegno 1976)-in other words, a good problem solver in language. Gattegno takes an openly sceptical view of the role of linguistic theory in language teaching methodology.
