Abstract
Nowadays, the core of the current educational reform is to change the traditional teacher-centered teaching model into student-centered learning in classroom. Therefore, the author suggests to apply Silent Way to vocabulary teaching in the middle school to emphasize the role of students in classroom. With Silent Way a teacher can not only make students have a positive attitude towards English vocabulary learning, but also enrich the forms of activities in classroom, and the efficiency of vocabulary teaching can be greatly increased. A thirty-day experiment conducted in two classes of Grade two in a middle school shows the positive effects of vocabulary teaching with the application of Silent Way after the results of the experiment are carefully analyzed.
Key words: Silent Way；vocabulary teaching；student-centered
