Many researches have been carried out on verbal behaviors from macroscopic to microscopic. And these researches and achievements have carried class teaching to a new stage and made teaching be much improved. However, nonverbal munication that is another very important way to spread information is overlooked. Nobody knows when nonverbal munication as a kind of teaching method to be used by human began. Somebody think ancient Greek from to 600 had interests in nonverbal munication (Malandro, 1989)。 gesture。 and the students can absorb better if they study at their own will (). It is going to be painful that they work hard on academic course just because the teachers expect them to do so. The teachers have to stimulate the students, and the way teachers use to motivate them can be very important. If the teachers have passion in class, they can offer the students positive studying attitude. I had one experience a year ago, when I was giving a class for the new recruited students, a little boy caught my attention. I was quite sure that he was so shy that he did not dare to open his mouth to say anything when I was teaching them pronunciation. From my knowledge about this kind of introverted students, they can be easily hurt inside. But if the teachers choose an appropriate way, they may help them develop a better personality. They read the teachers’ body language to know what they can get in class, what is important or unimportant, and what is mended or what is disallowed. By reading the teachers’ body language, the students can know read the teachers’ mi nd. In short moment an audacious idea occurs to me — I was sure that a lot of sermons were not suitable to help an introverted student get rid of his weakness. Why not to set him in an embarrassing situation? Maybe it will work. Then I came to that boy quietly and shouted to him with a finger pointing to his nose:“Are you a shy girl?”Boys do not want to be called like that, fortunately he gave me a negative answer and looked into my eyes with a weak voice:“No, I’m not.” “Sorry, I cannot hear you, you don’t want be a shy girl, then can you prove it? Please be loud and tell me that again!” I beat my chest continuously with my right hand and raised my left hand erecting the index finger in the air, asked the boy to repeat the words “I’m not shy” loudly, for a l ittle moment, 免費(fèi)論文下載 silence filled in as all the air around was frozen into cold ice. How eagerly I wished he could response, if not, I must get stuck in an embarrassing situation. Surprisingly he turned out to be totally another one. Maybe it is because he was too embarrassed that he did not want his behavior to betray his embarrassment before, all through the class time, he performed very actively. B. Expressing Themselves Better English is a sort of language which depicts English culture. Due to this, it is definitely wrong for an English teacher to arrange the class normally as the teachers of other subjects do. A good English teacher is not judged by the number of good students in his class, but about whether he could make it sure that the students understand the deep meaning when people are talking in English (Fries, 1945). English learners have to internalize the information that they have got from their teachers. Because of the lack of language atmosphere, Chinese students cannot speak their mind freely, let alone understand the deep meaning. If we do not use the appropriate words, maybe we will make the students bee puzzle or ever give them worry information. Fortunately body language helps a lot to solve this problem. So the students do not have to say a lot of words around one idea. With the help of body language, they can easily understand when they try to start a conversation with others. C. Understanding Students Clearly When the teachers are giving class, body language is not only to motivate the students, but also help to understand the students’ inside world. This informative workshop on body language provides every teacher with an indepth knowledge of micromovement. If the students are submissive, anxious, dominant, bored, lying or telling the truth, the way students stand, move, and sit reveal and convey their thought. Because these movement are produced at a subconscious or unconscious level .If the teachers are unaware of the students’ meanings that are shown by incongruous through the students’ words or behavior, they can not create an interesting studying atmosphere. To be able to avoid these, the teachers should have a better understanding of how they think and feel. This prehensive workshop will give them a great opportunity to discover and understand the students’ behavior. 免費(fèi)論文下載 And also some students may be reticent in expressing themselves in class. In their mind, hasty assertions or responses are seen as a sign of crudity of thought, as boastful selfassertion, or as rude. They may appear to be unresponsive to a question posed by the teacher. In fact, when they have an answer they are waiting for a occasion that they consider to be an appropriate moment to answer, so that they may be polite and appear to be thoughtful. Then the teachers should pay more attention to these students. If a teacher goes out for a while, when he or she return, the students give he or she “smiling face” and continue to work. But do they keep working after his or her back is turned? How would the teacher know? If the students intend to continue talking, they are betrays by their body language. Look at the knees and feet, the students fake with the upper body (shoulders, eyes, hands), not the lower body (knee, feet). The body language under the des
