It has become an obstacle of the interaction between the teacher and the students, which not only affect achieving the teaching goals in classroom, but also is not beneficial to the cultivation of students’ language ability. In order to break the silence in college English classroom and improve the classroom teaching atmosphere and students’ English ability, this paper analyzes the main factors of classroom silence from three aspects such as student factors, teacher factors and cultural factors. Based on these factors which cause the phenomenon of silence, some suggestions are made to overcome classroom silence—building up students’ self confidence, improving teaching methods and creating harmonious classroom atmosphere. Only by exploring the factors of silence can classroom silence be broken.
