The students’ active participation in the English classroom and effective communication with teachers are the essential parts of a successful and efficient English class. However, in China, it is very common for the students to keep silent in the English classroom, and they seldom answer the teachers’ questions and express themselves in English class. This paper will systematically analyze the current silent phenomenon in English classroom, the reasons for the students silence, and the corresponding countermeasures of English classroom silence. Both the students and the teachers should work together to build a harmonious class atmosphere, and the harmonious relationship between students and teachers is conducive to the teaching and learning process.
