Abstrak –this classroom research answers the two questions in the research problems. Firstly, Silent Way Method is so effective in improving student linguistic performance in Intensive English Course at Year 2 students in the Department of English Education Program at the Faculty of Teachers Training and Education as it explores students speaking skill to emerge and those who are shy feel confident to speak English even a bit. Secondly, it is so clear that Silent Way Method gives evidence to us that it can significantly improved student linguistic performance in Intensive English Course at Year 2 students in the Department of English Education Program at the Faculty of Teachers Training and Education by looking at the evidence as follows: 1)Teacher can provide oral fluency practice using presentation and group work model, 2) Teacher succeeds very well in achieving direct error correction  and the discourse is allowed to proceed with minimum  interruption, 3) In giving content  feedback, teacher suceeds to create an atmosphere which is conducive to learning and is likely to promote learner involvement, 4) By constantly checking  for  confirmation, it creates considerable evidence that teachers who constantly  seek clarification, check  for confirmation and who do not always accept the first contribution a student offers are more likely to maximize linguistic performace potential than those who do not constantly, 5) Teacher succeeds in engaging students and  in  promoting  longer verbal communication. His verbal behaviour allows students to play a full and active role in classroom, producing more  complete, more natural responses, 6) Teacher only intervenes when necessary, giving language support, correcting  errors or adding a personal comment, 7) As far as the learner contributions are concerned, it is evident from this extract that learners and teacher are actively engaged in constructing a piece of discourse which resembles a conversation. Silent Way Method indeed has a number of  positive  effects, from  an  excited, questioning approach to teaching to improved classroom interaction and involvement with the students. By controlled use of language and by matching pedagogic and linguistic goals, teacher facilitates and promotes reformulation and clarification, leading to greater involvement and precision of language on the part of the  learners.

This action research project explored the use of gestures for teaching and learning French vocabulary in an upper-beginner adult classroom with 21 students from various language backgrounds. Over the course of 4 weeks, the teacher developed and used 4 sets of themed activities using both teacher- and student-generated gestures to introduce new vocabulary to the students, encouraging students to take an active role with respect to creating gestures. Detailed classroom observations and the teacher’s field notes showed that students became comfortable using gestures after the first class and that the gesture activities had positive effects on student participation and the classroom interaction. Weekly quizzes and a final vocabulary test revealed bene ts of gesture-based activities for word learning. Students’ comments suggested that they enjoyed the gesture activities and that the gestures helped them remember words be er, particularly when the word naturally evoked a gesture or when the gesture contained clues to word length or pronunciation. Several pedagogical considerations guiding the design and implementation of gesture-based vocabulary activities in a second language classroom are discussed.----Cette recherche-action action a exploré l’utilisation de gestes pour l’enseignement et l’apprentissage du vocabulaire en français dans un cours pour adultes débutants-intermédiaires. Les 21 étudiants avaient divers antécédents linguistiques. Au cours de 4 semaines, l’enseignant a développé et mis en œuvre 4 ensembles d’activités thématiques impliquant des gestes conçues par l’enseignant et d’autres par les étudiants, et visant la présentation de nouveaux éléments de vocabulaire. On encourageait les étudiants à jouer un rôle actif dans la création de gestes. Des observations détaillées des activités en classe et les notes de l’enseignant indiquent que les étudiants étaient à l’aise avec les gestes après le premier cours et que les activités avec gestes avaient des effets positifs sur la participation des étudiants et sur les interactions en classe. Des contrôles hebdomadaires et l’examen de vocabulaire final ont révélé les avantages des activités reposant sur les gestes pour l’apprentissage du vocabulaire. Les commentaires des étudiants révèlent qu’ils ont apprécié les activités et que les gestes les avaient aidés à mieux retenir le vocabulaire, notamment quand le mot évoquait naturellement un geste ou quand le geste contenait des indices quant à la longueur ou la prononciation du mot. Plusieurs considérations pédagogiques visant la conception et la mise en œuvre d’activités de vocabulaire L2 reposant sur les gestes sont présentées.
