WhatisBodyLanguage?

Bodylanguageisanimportantchanneltoexpresstheattitudesandfeelingsofhumanbeings.BodyLanguageinEnglishteachingcanbeexpressedfromthefourpartsofEyesight,Countenance,GestureandManner.

Eyecontactisthemostimportantoneofall.Aseveryoneknows,eyeisthe“window“ofsomeone’sheart.Wecanknowwhathedoubts,howhelovesorhates.Whentheteacherfindssomeoneisabsent-mindedordoesanythingelse,hecanstillhavehisclass;hecanalsogivethestudentkindlyeyesighttoattracthisattention.Evenwhensomeoneislateforclass,teacherscanusetheeyesighttohintthathecancomeintotheclassroom,inordertoavoiddispersingtheotherstudents’attention.

Gesturescanhelpusreinforcetheverbalmessage.Forexample,theteachersays,“Ihavethreemajorpointstotalkabouttoday,“whileholdingupthreefingers.Studentswillunderstandhismeaning.Inshort;anaccurateandmoderategesturecannotonlytransmitthethoughtbutalsostrengthentheinfluenceofteachers’verballanguage.Inaword,thevividgesturetogetherwiththefluentEnglishcancreateagoodcircumstanceoflearning,whichwillsurelyplayanactivepartinimprovingthestudents'studyability.

Atpresenttime,withtheEnglishteachingmethodsreform,moreandmoreEnglishteachersorganizetheteachingactivitiesinEnglishsothattheymayrealizetheCommunicativeEnglish.TheCommunicatedEnglishmeansthatteachersinstructthestudentsandexplainquestionsbasicallyinEnglish,andthestudentsarealsorequiredtouseEnglishinclass.Togetridofthestudents'feelingsofbeingdullandtiring,anEnglishteacherhastouseeverypossiblemethod.Forexample,whenateachersays“standup,please”,hecansayasopenupthepalmlightly;whilespeaking“sitdown,please”,hecanusetheoppositeway,spreadingoutthehandandpressingdownwardtoshowthemthecontrarymeaning.Ifthestudent’svoiceistoosmalltohearclearly,teachermaysay”speakitloudly,please”andholdhishandbehindtheearatthesametimeastolistentohim.Andiftheteacherwantstwostudentstomakeapracticetogether,hecanjustspreadouttwofingersandsay“inpairs”.Ofcourse,theteachershouldnodhisheadwhensaying“yes”andshakewhensaying“no”toletthestudentsfeelhimteacherjustliketheconductorandguidethemtostudybyusingbodylanguage.Timebytime,thestudents'interestinlearningEnglishhasbeenraisedalot.LearningEnglishbecomesanenjoymenttothem.Thisactionwillusuallygivethestudentsadeepimpression.
