摘 要

随着英语教学法的不断深入发展,人们要求英语教师在课堂上使用英语组织教学,并为学生学习英语创设学习环境。然而，由于学生词汇量的限制，教师在课堂上要简化自己的语言，这就需要肢体语言的协助。肢体语言在课堂上得到了广泛的应用。同时，在英语教学中它也扮演了非常重要的角色。
在这篇文章中，笔者主要论述了肢体语言在教学中的重要性：能引起学生兴趣，能促进和谐的师生关系，能帮助教师简化教学，以及如何恰当的使用目光语、手势语、面部语言等肢体语言。同时也指出了使用肢体语言需要注意的几点事项和肢体语言在英语教学中的应用。四十五分钟的授课时间是极为短暂的，要向短短的四十五分钟要效益，就要求教师尽可能的合理使用肢体语言，大大加强自己的教学效果。

Introduction
As we know，the classroom teaching is one of most important ways that the students learn English . Traditional education pays too much attention to instilling the knowledge into the students. Such cramming method of teaching brings up the students who have good marks but low ability If teachers want to arouse the students′ interests so that they can learn better encourage them and enhance the efficiency of classroom teaching they have to use all kinds of ways. Using body language in the English teaching is one of them.
Body language studies are now in academia a brand – new theory .So body language application in classroom teaching exploration still are short .American psychologist James Asher JPR teaching is the body language in the teaching experiment.
Combined with myself in English teaching how to use body language I tried to discuss the application of body language in English teaching .This thesis aims to research the necessity and importance of body language and there are four major kinds of body language in this thesis and we will discuss how to use of them properly and correctly and we will discuss some principles when we use the body language.
1 The Necessity and Importance of Using Body Language in English Teaching
Body language is an important media through which people communicate with each other .It refers to the process of communicating what you are feeling or thinking by the way you place and move your body rather than by words. A famous anthropologist E.T. Hall pointed “silent languages express more information than verbal language.” Because body language is used more times than verbal language. The United States psychologist Albert Melabin, 1968, made an experiment to prove that the total result of the I information 7writing 38tone 55countenance and movement. And the specialist on body language research Fen Lafel Angles once said “Once body language was lost a body couldn’t have grown into a normal person.” So body language plays an essential role in human communication. Everyone knows with the continual reform and opening of China English is becoming more important in many fields for example in economy sport and science. The development of society is in great need of a large number of people with rich English knowledge .The wildest use of English is to communicate .And with the continual reform of language teaching and learning methods teachers are in great demand to organize the classes in English and create English –learning circumstances .So communicated English is very important. Communicated English means that teachers teach English in English and the students are also required to use English in class .However with the limitation of students vocabulary teachers have to organize their 6teaching with the body language. From the above we can see that body language is important and necessary for the English teaching. It not only can strengthen teacher’s charm arouse the students interest establish more smooth inter personal relation between the teachers and students but also can make the teaching become simpler and it helps to improve the four basic skills of learning language listening speaking reading and writing.
1.1 The Definition of Body Language
Body language is known as non-verbal behavior which transmits information through gestures, movement and facial expression. People communicate with each other by their body language in the ways of nodding, eye contacting, shrugging and so on. According to the psychologists’ research, these ways can express something that verbal language can not directly express. Body language can be divided into sight language; body touches language, posture, gesture, manner, facial expression, and clothes language.
1.2 Functions of Using Body Language
1.2.1 Stirring the Students’ interests
A famous person ever said, “Interest is the best teacher.” So attracting and improving the students’ interest is a very important part of English teaching. There are many ways to arouse the students’ interest. Body language used in English teaching is one of them. The linguist Mr Lu ever said: “The foreign language teacher should be able to perform and dance for joy made a vivid gesture movement and countenance as an actor should not always be gentle and cultivated or just stand stiffly on the platform.” But how do we attract the students’ interests by using body language Below I will example to illustrate this problem. For example: When teachers teach the words of the body parts such as :“head” “nose” “face” “hand”……they can let the students touch their body own body parts. By using body language the students must be full of pleasure in this class. So body language plays an important role in Stirring the students interest.
1.2.2 Helping to Improve the Four Basic Skills of Learning Language: Listening, Speaking, Reading, and Writing
Using body language can help to improve the four basic skills of learning language: listening speaking reading and writing.
A: Body language helps to improve listening.
The Greek philosopher Epictetus ever wittily said: “Nature has give man one tongue and two ears that he may hear twice as much as he speaks.” From the saying we can learn how important the listening is in our daily life. To understand others is a basic purpose in English teaching and teachers often train the students listening accordingly .In this process if the body language is used the effect will be better.
B: Body language helps to improve speaking.
The spoken language is one of the important ways to communicate. So we should try to develop the students’ ability of speaking. Factually they are helped to reach the aim in a certain degree by their teacher’s body language. The contemporary emphasis gradually laid on spoken English teaching. The first lesson of every unit in Senior English begins with dialogue. The teaching programs require the teachers to organize the class to practice English according to the characteristics of dialogue. Generally speaking the body language can arouse and sustain the students’ interest of leaning and using English. In the English class the teachers should not only use body languages themselves but also ask the students to use them according to the different situation.
C: Body language helps to improve reading.
Reading aloud helps the students to get a correct pronunciation and intonation and to develop the combination of vocabularies pronunciation spelling and meaning. Furthermore it also helps the students to find out the article’s internal feelings and appreciate the beauty of the language. A linguist ever said: “A poem is not a poem until it is read.” Reading aloud is basic for the middle school students. And the teachers should make full use of body language to develop the students` ability of reading aloud.
In 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 improve the students` reading ability.
D: Body language helps to improve writing.
Writing is one of the four basic skills of learning language, and it is so important a skill that we can even say without it, people can not communicate with others. Not only should the students get some English knowledge and vocabularies, but also the ability to communicate in spoken and written English as what is mentioned in the teaching programs. To some extent, writing is much more important than speaking, for it can spread without the limitation of apace and time .Since the students learn English as a media for communication, they should have the ability of writing.
The linguist Franklin ever said: “Tell me, I will forget; teach me, I will remember; involve me and I will learn.” If we asked the students to write an unfamiliar composition, they would probably be unable to and feel discouraged. However the students can write excellent articles if they have the experience.
2. The Using of Three Major Kinds of Body Languages in English Classroom Teaching
2.1 The Using of Eyesight in English Teaching
As saying goes: “The eyes are the window of the soul.” That is to say, we can read one’s mind through his eyes .Eye language can express complicated feelings and it is an important way to judge the relationship of communicators. People from English speaking countries have more eye contact when they are in conversation. As the result, the teacher should use the eyesight effetely in the English class.
First, teachers could get to know what the students doubt, how they love or hate whether they approve or disprove from the students’ sight.
Second, teachers could know whether the students fully focus on the lesson through their eyes. If a student who listens to the teacher carefully ,he should follow the teacher with the eyesight .If there is a student looking around the classroom ,that expresses he didn’t listen to the teacher carefully.
Third, a teacher should always use a kind of eyesight to his students. For example, if the students are still exciting before class, the teacher can look around the whole class to express the meaning that it is the class time. And when you start the class, you find someone is late for class, you had better use your eyesight to allow him/her to come into the classroom, in order to avoid disrupting the other students` attention.
In short, the loving and kind eyesight often make the students follow the teaching contents .It is useful for English teaching.
2.2 The Using of Facial Expressions in English Teaching
“The face has been called an ‘organ of emotion’.” Because we constantly read facial expressions to understand what others are feeling. The face provides vital clues to our own feelings and those of the people around us. Of all the nonverbal Channels, the face is the most important broadcaster of emotions.”
Because the face can clearly convey several specific emotions，such as: happiness, surprise fear anger ,sadness and so on .so if the teacher can use the facial expressions in our
