Methodology

[mehdihas]

Dear Teachers,
In the teaching methods that were common a couple of decades ago, there was a method which was called the "silent way". Why this method was called "the silent way" and not the "silent method"?
Thanks.

That was the choice of the originators of the method/way/scheme. . .

. . . just as Dickens chose not to call his book A Story of Two Cities.
