This article is a section of the theoretical framework of the author’s doctoral thesis, entitled: The attitude of listening in a classroom pedagogical conversation, a research project located at the interplay between culture and language, and focused on the fundamental communicative skills. This paper delves into the phenomenon of listening, shared by both students and teachers as educational figures. The purpose of this work is to shed light over the significance that human silence can have in the current cultural school context, more specifically, in a classroom experience that is clearly marked by the presence of noise and the absence of a listening culture. Pedagogical silence is addressed as an act of language, the basis for the achievement of classroom listening. Human silence needs to be resignified, comprehended and put into practice not only in the pedagogical classroom conversation but also in the daily communication of all educational figures

Palabras clave : school culture; classroom listening; human silence; pedagogical silence.
