- Summary:
-
As a learner-oriented approach, Gattegno's "Silent Way" has recently been receiving much attention in the teaching of English as a second language. Whereas the cognitive approach to the teaching of language deserves praise, an integral aspect of Gattegno's method includes the introduction of a 37-color alphabet, used in a one-to-one phonics approach now out of favor among reading specialists. There is an inconsistency between Gattegno's rule-oriented approach to syntax and the patternless memorization of color-grapheme correspondences. While there is much good in Gattegno's cognitive approach and subordination of teaching to learning, there is an equal danger of "seeing red" with his colors. (Author)
