Silence in the language classroom doesn’t mean students aren’t saying anything. Silence is information.

In this episode of Growing With Proficiency: The Podcast, we explore why silence can be a valuable source of information and how teachers can use it to foster curiosity, lower risk, and create more meaningful engagement.

You’ll learn:

  • The 3 main reasons students don’t respond to questions
  • How to make your questions comprehensible and accessible
  • Low-prep strategies that lower response risk and boost participation
  • Ways to connect unit content to your students’ lives without rewriting your curriculum

Resources mentioned in this episode:

  • Episode 161 with Becca Silver: Moving Past the “Shoulds”
  • Episode 157 with Dr. Karen Lichtman & Jason Fritze: Three Key Skills for Teaching Acquisition
  • Episode 54 with Paulino Brenner: Asking Better Questions in the Language Classroom
  • Episode 88 with Dr. Bill VanPatten: What about Output?

If you’re ready to reframe silence from something frustrating to something informative, this episode will give you practical tools and a new perspective to bring into your classroom tomorrow.
