The silent way method was presented in class by a group of students, they began their activity presenting some interesting topics, they didn`t say anything in the target language, they just gave us some instructions and activities to do. The first one was to do a role play about some modern social groups and then they ask us to make a little summary to present in class using some handouts designed there, with materials brought by them. The use of this method according to the experience presented, may be limited by the size of the class, the time and the resources available and also by the topics chosen because not every topic may be interesting for the entire class and also it may be hard obtaining a good first response from them because usually in our country our student`s previous English knowledge is generally limited.
