Abstract	Silent students are often actively involved in classroom learning despite appearances to the contrary, and teachers can use special instructional strategies to guide them to overt participation. Students with "communication apprehension" are often assumed to have low intelligence, but they may suffer instead from shyness, various communication skills deficits, social alienation, or low social esteem. The educational handicap of silence stemming from causes other than low intelligence can be overcome when teachers use the following teaching strategies to guide silent participants into speech: (1) engage the students in a study of the functions of silence as part of language; (2) develop alternative ways to obtain student responses; (3) establish routines by which silent students can indicate readiness to answer or the need for clarification; and (4) develop student collaborations and communities of learning.
