A famous anthropologist E T Hall pointed out: “silent language expresses more information than verbal language because it contains much information” （Hal

8、l, 1959: 32）. And an American scholar Julius Fast seems to support this view, in the book The Silent Language, he states speech is silver and silence is golden （Fast, 1970, cited in Deng, 2009）. Besides, Shen Minxian, the writer of The Use of the Body Language in Elementary School, mentions the arti

He also argues the body language has a function of attracting students attention and complementing spoken language in class teaching （cited in Shen, 1999: 126）. Moreover, the book A Caurse in English Language T

Nevertheless, some teachers could not appropriate

14、ing.1 General introduction of body language Body language is one kind of the nonverbal communication which plays an essential role in people daily communicating life and it is necessary to introduce to people in order to smoothly communicate without misunderstanding.1.1 The definition of body langua

15、ge Many definitions of body language have been formulated by various forms as the following demonstrated: The Oxford English Dictionary （revised in 2005） definition is: “Body language, noun, the conscious and unconscious movements and postures by which attitudes and feelings are communicated. For ex

16、ample, his intent was clearly expressed in his body language” （Jiang, et al., cited in, Zhuang, 2009）.Oxford Advanced Learners English-Chinese Dictionary （the sixth edition） provides a different definition: “body language, noun, and the process of communicating what you are feeling or thinking by th

17、e way you place and move your body rather than by words” （Lu, 2004:175）.In conclusion, body language is the conscious and unconscious transmission and interpretation of feelings, attitudes and moods through a series of physical movement and surroundings and relationship to others.1.2 Features of bod

18、y languageFirst, the same body language with different meanings. For example, “stamp ones foot in China means angry, regret or frustrated, but in English countries it means impatient” （Deng & Liu, 1989: 149）.Second, different body language is with similar conception. There are two different body lan

19、guages to express “I am full”. Chinese people always touch or pad their stomach gently but people in western countries usually put a hand in their throat which means they are full.Third, body language in one culture is without equivalent. Some body language only exists in one culture. For example, c

20、hewing ones fingernails emotionally indicates stress, worry and does not know what to do.1.3 Classifications of body languageIn the intercultural communication, the most common way to classify the body language is by the movement of human body. Samovar used the term “body behavior”, and classified i

21、t into appearance, body movement, facial expression, eye management, touching, sub-language, olfactic behavior, and so on. “Brosnahan uses “gestures” to refer to touching, space, appearance posture, body behavior, arm movement, leg movement, hand movement, head movement, facial expression, eye manag

22、ement, noisy and silent decorations, the environment, and so on” （Hu, 1995, cited in Wang, 2011: 465）. From all these ways of classification, people can know body language mainly includes the movement of every part of a mans body, not just limits to the body movement. This paper will introduce the e

Therefore, the author will give some information about applying body language in details with some examples by observing other teachers body language in English teaching and interviewing students about their views of using body language in teaching class.2.1 The current situation of

25、 secondary school English teaching To begin with, according to the questionnaire, there are some statistics about the satisfaction toward learning from students. In cities, 72% pupils feel happy or very happy about going to school, while there are only 27% secondary school students who are in Grade

26、Three think that it is happy to go to school; in countries, just only 32% students acknowledge that it is happy to go to school （Yin & Chen, 2004: 36）. The causes are many-sided, but the main factor is of teachers inhospitality and violence and strict, and some teachers have a terrible impression on

27、 students, which makes students feel that “the hearts of their teachers are full of ice!”At present, secondary school English teaching faces two important problems: the level of English teaching is low behindhand and the methods of English teaching are simple and out, which lead to coming out many d

28、eaf-English and dummy-English learners, and even some students quit their English study because of lacking of basic English knowledge and no interest in learning English. It could not be denied that some old English teachers treat them as superior teacher and they think their experience is more auth

29、oritative than others, so they just teach in an usual way only for seeking high marks instead of ignoring the demand of their students; and some teachers just only for finishing their task to teach, they dont care about what their students really need and have learned. Only a small part of teachers can do well in both teaching knowledge and arousing students interest. Therefore, the pressing task is to find out these teaching problems in deals
