6、sk of the English education is to stimulate and cultivate students interest and their confidence in learning the language , help them develop good learning habits and form effective learning strategies , facilitate autonomy and cooperative spirit in learning, increase their awareness of the cultural

7、 differences. And so we lay a good basis for their lifelong learning. As everyone knows, one of the most important ways that the students learn English is the classroom teaching. As far as the English teaching in the middle schools is concerned, teachers have to attract and improve the students inte

8、rest so that they may learn better. There are many ways to arouse the students interest and help them to learn better, body language used in English teaching is one of them. However, the fact of the present English education is that the English teachers pay more emphasis on spoken language and writt

9、en language in their teaching and have little or no concern about the importance of the body language. A large amount of researches in America have proved that the information carried by body language such as intonation and facial expression may overpass 90% in expressing emotion and attitude. So we

10、 can see that body language has a decisive role in communication. Chapter 2 The Identification of Body Language2. 1 The definition of Body Language At the mention of communication, we naturally think of verbal language, the words that we speak endlessly and even unconsciously everyday. But except th

11、e verbal language, there lies a body language that makes a great contribution to our everyday communication. Human communications are achieved by the verbal and nonverbal language. Body language is a visible semiotic that may express and exchange information. Or more generally, when people can trans

12、form some information to the outside world through certain movements, the movements have the function of verbal language, and thus we can call it body language. The body language in the nonverbal communication is an important medium for people to communicate in the daily life that it assumes almost

13、90% of communication. It sends messages and expresses ideas by the application of eyesight, facial expression, gesture, posture and so on. Behaviorists proved that all the acts and moods can be effective in human communication, and can serve for teaching. Body language has the characteristic of vivi

14、d, visual, intuitional, well-understood and, easy to imitate and utilize. So, if we utilize it fully, it will have much significance in middle school English teaching.2.2 The Features of Body Language Body language has the same essential attribute with verbal language, that is they are both importan

15、t means of communication. However, as a potential language, it has its own unique properties. The study of its uniqueness is the basis for the proper application.2.2.1 Subsidiarity Unlike verbal language, the body language has a distinctive feature of contingency, situationality and intuitionism. Th

16、at is to say, in language communication, it does not substitute verbal language but accompanies. It delivers information to affect counterpart directly. And it cannot act its communication role without a certain situation. And the body acts often means a series of acts including facial expression, g

17、esture and posture, etc. We often define sbs way of speaking as “ be both excellent in voice and affection”（声情并茂), which is a good example.2.2.2 Multilayer and multi-aspect communication The scientific tests showed that 80% of a persons memory was determined by his visual sense. Like verbal language

18、, the body language is also multifarious：Some are specific while some are general；Some are meant for communication while some are for conveying；Some are providing emotional information while some are revealing the inner world. For example, we often say “dive sbs thought what he says and the expressi

19、on on his face”.2.2.3 Substitution In some occasions, people use body language to substitute body language, and this is often a case in classes. For example, if we expect someone to succeed, we can make a V sign, because it means victory. When we expect to turn up the volume, we can raise our hand.

20、And turn down is alike. In these cases, the application of body language is more convenient and efficient.Chapter 3 The Function of Body Language 3.1 Auxiliary function As the language helps people to communicate, body language plays the role of delivering information and exchanging emotions. It can

21、 be called auxiliary function. Body language can be and should be applied as paralanguage to assist teaching. For example, when the English teachers read the passages and dialogues in English with the changing intonations and tones as they are needed, the recitation is cadenced and rich in feelings.

22、 This can not only help to intensify reading effect, to make the boring reading moving and interesting, but also strengthen infectivity to promote their deeper understanding of the passages. And as the class goes on, a praiseful eye contact or excited tone can stimulate the students to have more ent

23、husiasm for the following study, while a discontented eye contact or laziness tone may distress them and be afraid of the study and lose confidence in it. 3.2 Inflective functionSome kinds of body language give a play to inflect students and help them to have better states during the class. For inst

24、ance, the straightness of the teachers back, the state when he walks among the class. When the teacher is writing on the blackboard, he can inevitably leave a back to the students. And a straight back gives an impression of spiritedness and full of energy. When he walks in the class, his confident w

25、alk invisibly shows his attitude to the students performance on the contents. And the acts may inflect those lazy students to straight their backs unconsciously. They can be easily influenced by others, especially teachers.3.3 Vicarious function More often in class, the body language can substitute

26、the verbal language to solve some common and occasional problems. And it can save time and keep the fluency of the class to avoid the interruption of the class. The interruption may stop the whole class from thinking and make it unnaturally to go on with it.When a student is absenting from his mind,

27、 the teacher can quietly walk to the student to give a pat on his shoulder or stand beside him for seconds to help him realize his behaviors instead of hanging up the class to remind him. This act helps to avoid the embarrassment to the student by the verbal criticize and save time for the whole cla

28、ss without disturbing others for diverting their attention from the content.3.4 Increase individual glamour A well-behaved body language can help a teacher to foster a good image and increase his individual glamour among students. There are always some students who cant be attentive in the class. An

29、d the different acts of the teacher may result in totally different acts of the students. If the teacher refers to verbal language to criticize them, though the words may be humorous, with the whole class concentrate on him, he feels embarrassed. On the contrary, if the teacher refers to the body la

30、nguage. He gives an eye sight or stares at the student while illustrating the material. When the student realizes that the teacher is staring at him, he would know that the teacher have noticed him and so return back his mind to the class. It is a good way to avoid embarrassment and win the students

31、 hearts. Each student wants to be loved and to have a good impression on teachers. So what the teacher needs to do is to win most of the students admiration and appreciation. Except the broad and profound knowledge that can win their hearts, the elegant manners, mild smiles, gentle attitudes can als

32、o narrow the distance between the teachers and the students. Many students love a specific subject because of the admiration for the teacher who teaches this subject.Chapter 4. The Application of Body Language in Junior English Class4.1 The Necessity of Body language in Teaching English teaching is an important part of the school education. With the reform of English teaching methods, more and more English teachers organize the teaching process in English so that the students may realize the Communicated English. The Communicated English means that teachers instruct the students and ex
