Abstract

Silence in class is usually regarded as a negative behaviour. In English class, students often dare not speak English because of their lack of confidence and poor foundation. The silence of students violates the law of language learning and makes the teaching effect greatly reduced. This paper explores the reasons from three aspects of traditional culture and two subjects in teaching: students and teachers. It also points out that effective suggestions, such as strengthening communication, changing teaching methods and actively improving teaching strategies, can build a harmonious classroom atmosphere, achieve effective teaching and promote cross-cultural communication, so as to achieve the goal of cultivating high-quality talents.
