Teaching English at University: learning without studying

This video presents a complete English lesson.
Don Cherry has been teaching English in Japan for over 30 years using the Silent Way. This video is part of a project to document some of the techniques he uses to teach his students at Hiroshima International University.
All the students were 18-year-old Japanese students. There were around 30 students in each of the classes we filmed. English is a required course as part of their university studies. All the students had already had at least 6 years of learning English at school. The students in this particular class were meeting Don for the first time, so they didn't know what to expect.
Filmed during October 2023 at Hiroshima International University.

El método no está mal..pero se contradice con el input compresible donde hay que escuchar para luego poder hablar..

You are right, we don’t think you can learn to speak a language well simply by listening. To learn to speak a language you need to practise speaking!
Learning to speak a foreign language is learning a skill and should be taught as such. Therefore we use the techniques shown in this video to hold students attention, get them talking and provide feedback.
At later stages, once students have more English skills then, of course, it is possible to pick up more vocabulary etc by listening - but it’s not very efficient until students have firm foundation for the language.
