9、ation.12 Frequency.13Conclusion.13IntroductionClassroom teaching is one of the most important ways to students who learn English. On English language teaching in primary schools, the teachers need to mobilize the students interest in learning so that they learn better. There are many ways to stimula

10、te students interest in learning, helping them to learn English better. Using body language is one of them, as English teaching in elementary school place important point on communication activities. Dull and dry communication will make students feel unpleasant and boring. They do not like the usual

11、, unchanging teaching and learning methods. Body language is an essential medium for people to communicate with each other. It refers to the patterns of facial expressions and gestures that people use to express their feelings in communication. In school education, body language plays a positive rol

12、e in cultivating the students characters. For, teachers are usually respected, and factually, what or how the teachers say or do will be possibly imitated by the students sometimes subconsciously .all in all, teachers graceful body language helps to improve the students classroom study and to consol

13、idate their knowledge. Body language from teachers to students not only reflects the impact of setting a good example, but also shortens the gap between teachers and students to create a more harmonious learning atmosphere. In addition, knowledge of theory and abstraction also need simple and vivid

14、body postures, to make way for more specific performance, image. Thus, students interest will be mobilized and teaching effectiveness will be greatly enhanced.1. Introduce body language 1.1 knowledge of body languageBody language, also known as gesture language, is a kind of communication to express

15、 emotion, through the head, eyes, neck, hand, elbow, arm, body, hips, feet and other body parts of the coordination of moves to convey the characters thoughts. In the primary English teaching, as a kind of tool to commit information, body language was found and applied earlier than verbal language.

16、The body language is regarded as the complement to enhance expressive effects after the emergence of the verbal language. Sometimes non-language information will be of more display and appeal. According to a study by the United States, there are more than 90% of the level of information is through t

17、one and facial expression during the exchange of emotion and information. Whereas, 70%80% of knowledge received from the outside world are through vision. It is thus clear that body language occupies an important position in English teaching.1.2 The types of body language used in English teaching.Bo

18、dy language falls into various categories. Facial expression, eye contact, gesture, and manner are four of them which are often employed in English teaching. The application of facial expressionFacial expression is the whole showing screen of peoples mind, thought and nerve. A peoples countenance ca

19、n reflect his or her pleasure, anger, anxiety, thought, sorrow and fear. Therefore, being good at talking and performing with the face, teachers should aim at the different circumstances appeared in the English teaching classroom. Smile is the most typical facial expression. The students of primary

20、school always like to approach teachers with smile on their face. A warm, kind smile is often encourage and non-threatening, and then harmonious atmosphere is created. Just as the communicative approach of language teaching claims that people learn best when they feel secured. So it is certain that

21、students in such a harmonious class will be activated and interested in learning. It has been found that the smile expressed by teachers can unburden students spiritually. English may be a bit dull and difficult for us Chinese learners, so it is important to help students to build up their confidenc

22、e in learning. It is said that teachers smile is a great encouragement for students to gain confidence in English learning. For instance, when a student is late for class or makes a stupid mistake in work. Instead of blaming him, the teacher can smile affably to him, pointing out his mistake, which

23、will lead to better result. The application of eye contactAs a proverb goes “the eyes are the window of the soul”. Of all the ways we communicate with people, eye contact is the most powerful one. According to a research, the eye contact between teachers and students should take up 60%-70% total tim

24、e in class to arouse students interest Guxueliang, 1998 . Practically, the longer the eye contact lasts the more possibly the teacher will be considered trustful.It is said that looking at people and meeting their eyes are the first step towards building up friendships and making positive impression

25、. It is known to all that the activity of English teaching is the process of knowledge transmission as well as interpersonal communication, thus a friendly relationship between teachers and students is necessary for teaching activities to be carried out smoothly. What is more, the attitude of intima

26、cy, concern or indifference can be inferred by the way a teacher looks at or avoids looking at a student. Researches show that speakers who look at audience are often perceived as much more favorable, confident, credible, and qualified than those who avoid eye contact Lihaitao, 2004 . It is also tru

27、e in the classroom where students always feel more willingly to pay attention to the lessons delivered by teachers who continuously keep eye contact with them. A study conducted by Breed, Christiansen and Larson indicates that students who are looked at almost continuously by teachers receive higher

28、 scores in exam.It is often said that the eyes of human beings can speak. Thus, teachers can understand better what students are thinking through the various movements of the eyes. Firstly, teachers could get to know the effect of their lesson and this would help them analyze the situation of the st

29、udents. Secondly, teachers could know whether the students fully focus on the lesson through their eyes.From the above analysis, we can easily learn that he functions of eye contact in English teaching are significant. So an excellent teacher should have a pair of eyes which can speak. The applicati

30、on of gestureGesture means we communicate and express by the movement and manners of our hands and fingers. It also raises an essential function in English teaching. Gestures have an extensive sphere of application, and it is very convenient to apply them. Also they could be used freely and they hav

31、e a lot of variety. Most importantly, the use of gesture can assist vocal language. Because of this, some people regard gesture language as “the second language of oral expression” Liuyongfa&liuxuanen, 1997 . For example, when you want to describe the size of a big fish to your students, you could m

32、ove your hands apart to show how long the fish is. This gesture communicates better than our vocal language.When teachers teach students words, they can put questions to the students with the help of body language. For example, when a teacher gives an instruction: you two, please come to the blackbo

33、ard, the students can easily understand it if the teacher points to some two students. Then, the teacher points to the blackboard. The students will carry out the order without obstacle even if they dont hear the key words blackboard. Whats more, gestures can help us reinforce the verbal message. Fo

34、r example, the teacher says, “I have three major points to talk about today,” while holding up three fingers. In this way, students can remember the key points better. In short, an accurate and moderate gesture can not only transmit the thought but also deepen students impression of the knowledge. I

35、n a word, the vivid gesture together with the fluent English can create a good circumstance of learning, which will surely play an active part in improving the students study ability. application of mannerThe educationists believe that Manner is a moving action of a persons body and is also a kind o

36、f information system of expressing body language, The England philosopher Bacon believes that beauty of looks is higher than the color and luster one, yet the graceful and elegant beauty of action is higher than the beauty of looks Liuyongfa&Liuxuanen, 1997 . In English teaching classroom, teachers

37、should have the proper, elegant and composed manner to attract students attention, which will rise a function of “Silent is superior to Sound”. When a teacher has a class, he should not always stand on the platform, but should take a proper stroll around the students. When the students do their prac

38、tice, the teacher can also take a stroll at the students, close teachers stand to students affects what the latter hear, attend and retain. Generally speaking, distance from four to tee feet is the most appropriate for effective teaching and learning, Lihaitao, 2004 But there are variations to this,

39、 for instance, when teachers lead reading they can walk down to the platform and go into the students space, so that they can control the class, finding and correcting the students pronunciation, intonation and so on. At the same time, it will also give the students a model function, such as the tea

40、chers statements and actions, the attitude of treating the persons and dealing with things, which will affect the students unconsciously. It is also a kind of imperceptible influence, so as a teacher you should try your best to make use of this kind of influence in the positive aspects.1.3 Cases of

41、body language Case one, the primary school pupils, especially one or two grade pupils are like to move, imitate and make noisy. Once I talk some simple and intuitive words of the animals. I am just thinking how to help students to learn happily and to remember the words deeply? Using the body langua

42、ge! When we say a sentence, the words just convey seven percent of the content, the voice accounted for thirty three percent of it, and the rest fifty-five percent is showed by speakers gesture, facial expressions and movement. It is thus clear that the body language plays an important role in Engli

43、sh teaching of primary schools. The children of lower grade often understand and learn English by means of listening, imitating and real touch. English language taught in primary schools is provided with the characters of intuition, easy to comprehend and accept. If the teachers teaching English wit

44、h the body language, they will have a multiplier effect. Give an example that I stretch out my hands to do the gestures like swimming, breaststroke, butterfly, freestyle, backstroke, etc. in the classroom. The children are happy to follow the action and read out loud words with me. They laugh and are happy to learn English. With the movement of shaking feet, stretching hands and opening their mouths, they can learn the word fish quite well.Case two: the teacher in guiding students to understand “sta
