Abstract

It is argued that the sensitive management of time lapses or timing should be an important part of conventional communicative approaches in the L2 classroom. Distinctions must be made between timing and silence and between different types of teacher-managed time lapses. Suggestions for classroom application are drawn from a wide range of current theoretical and research perspectives.
