Abstract

Within different classroom activities, giving students time to think and respond is a common approach among teachers. But what happens when this time extends into uncomfortable
silence or when the students seem unwilling to respond at all? This paper considers why students might decide to remain silent in language classes and the implications of this for
teachers.
