2.2.2Contradicting

Intheclassroom,teacherscanusebodylanguageoppositefromtheliteralmeaningconveyedbyverbalmessages.Whenyouexplainawordlikesnaketoyourstudent,keepingyoureyeswidening,slack-jawedandsurprised-looking,however,youmaysay:

"Iamnotfrightened."Then,thestudentswillfinallygetadeepimpressionfortheword.

2.2.3Substituting

Teacherscanusebodylanguagetosupplantverbalmessages.InEnglishclass,theteacheroftenmeetsstudentswhodonotwanttospeak.Forexample,whentheteacherwantstoteachgrammaraboutpresentperfecttense,whichisdifficulttounderstand.Therewillbesomestudentswhoarenotconfidentandtheydarenottospeakouttheansweryouasked.Atthistime,theteachercancometothestudentsandusewarm-heartedexpressiontotaketheplaceofthesomewordswithcourage.Therewillbeabettereffectivenessintheclass.
