The widespread use of silence among EFL students has been the subject of a number of researches. Interestingly, less attention has been paid to observing how teachers perceive this kind of silence. This study set out to investigate how teachers view this problem and find solutions or teaching strategies that might be used to engage silent learners inside the classroom. The data for this study were obtained through the use of a closed-ended questionnaire with a total of 40 teachers (20 males and 20 females) specialized in English language and literature in four different departments of English in universities of Duhok, Zakho, Nawroz and Cihan. According to the findings, both male and female teachers who are teaching Kurdish learners believe that Kurdish learners are silent learners inside EFL classes. This silent behaviour is due to lack of confidence, shyness, anxiety and lack of motivation inside the classroom. Finally, some teaching strategies have been suggested by the researcher to better engage silent learners inside the classroom.
