10、　Body Language</p><p>　　Introduction</p><p>　　Body language is an important media through which people communicate with each other. It refers to the patterns of facial expressions and gestures t

11、hat people use to express their feelings and meanings in communication. The specialist on body language research, Fen Lafel Angles, once said, "Once it was lost, a baby couldn't have grown into a normal person&q

12、uot;. It's also true to the juveniles.   One of the most important ways for students learning English is the classroom teaching. As far as the En</p><p>　　The affection of teachers' b

13、ody language is reflected not only by establishing a good example, but also shortening the teacher-student estrangement by which a more harmonious studying atmosphere is created. As a matter of fact, teachers' friend

14、ly attitude can greatly encourage the students' studying enthusiasm. Furthermore, the characteristics of theoretic and abstraction of knowledge also requires the vivid, dramatic and an accessible gestures to make it

15、specific and figurative. As a result, th</p><p>　　Body language comes in many forms, as you have seen above. Different people have their own ability to recognize body language and they will recognize it with

16、 different meanings to other people. So, when you use body language, one person may see it differently to the other.</p><p>　　When we don’t know someone, we use their body language to get first impressions o

17、f them. In most cases, the impressions we make are wrong, as a positive form of body language may mean something negative about them. For example, someone who moves around a lot may be seen as energetic and efficient. In

18、 some cases, this may be correct, but it can mean that they are uncomfortable in the situation and also nervous.</p><p>　　Use body language to make you appear more confident, powerful, trusting, etc dependin

19、g on what the situation may require from you. If you give off negative signs, then it could be the difference of achieving your goal (e.g. a successful presentation, proposing an idea in a meeting, discussing a task with

20、 an employee, etc).</p><p>　　Also, try to recognize other people’s body language. By doing so, it could mean that they are/aren’t interested or that they feel threatened by your presence: in which case you c

23、s universally understood. However, it various cultures there are different reasons for smiling. The Japanese may smile when they are confused or angry. In other parts of Asia, people may smile when they are embarrassed.

24、People in other cultures may not smile at everyone to indicate a friendly greeting as we do in the United States. A smile may be reserved for friends. It is important not to judge students or their parents because they d

27、ood one to use in MANY circumstances – I've adapted it here after solid testing to picking up women – however, some people suggest that when combined with a few other verbal and non-verbal techniques it can even give

29、de message. In Thailand, Japan and France as well as countries of the Middle and Near East showing the soles of the feet demonstrates disrespect. You are exposing the lowest and dirtiest part of your body so this is insu

33、ed legs, raised hands, etc, the more appropriate the qualities may be. Folding your arms may look as if you are trying to defend yourself and will look bad to the other person. If you talk to someone who originally has f

36、ifferent position, it may not have gone as well as it did. This gesture is often taken on by sales people who sit in a similar position as their customer.</p><p>　　A more common gesture is perhaps the one th

42、ortant part of the school education. With the English teaching methods reformed, more and more English teachers organize the teaching process in English so that they may realize the Communicated English. The Communicated

43、 English means that teachers instruct the students and explain questions basically in English, and the students are also required to use English in class. After study three years in the middle school they can't speak

44、 very well; neither can they understan</p><p>　　Take it for example, we ought to use the form “have done” such as "Have you finished that job yet?" To make the students understand clearly, a teache

45、r has lots of ways. To do it by speed, he uses a common speed when reading "we ought to use the form 'have done'", and reads slowly when giving examples; he can also get the effect by repeating the exam

46、ple "Have you finished that job yet"; a more frequent way is to use gestures to lay emphasis on the key points when he saidhave done (emphasizing it </p><p>　　Body language is made up of a whole ra

47、nge of features, many of which we combine together without ever thinking about what it is we are doing or what we are expressing.Facial expression is one of the most obvious and flexible forms of communication and can ea

48、sily convey mood, attitude, understanding, confusion and a whole range of other things.Facial expression is a very common way that we use to communicate every day. When speaking English, it's generally good to smile

49、at your listener from time</p><p>　　Did you know that body language accounts for over 90% of a conversation! Body language can be used to help conduct an interview, give a presentation or make that important

50、 sale: a conversation stretches so much further than speech.</p><p>　　Body language is the reason why selling face-to-face has a huge advantage over selling by phone.</p><p>　　Usually when we co

51、mmunicate with or see people, we only respond to what is being said, heard or generally seen. There is so much more involved and most of us do not pick up on it: it’s our body language and it can express a thousand words

52、…</p><p>　　Our body language will give others an impression of ourselves or show our emotions. You’re probably using it right now to read this article (you will either be alert and interested, or baffled and

53、 un-interested). Our body language is an important aspect of running a successful business as we cannot always say what we really feel. This means we have to act positive in negative situations (and vice-versa of course)

54、. You can also identify other people’s body language and know what they really mean:</p><p>　　Chapter3. The concrete application of the body language in listening, speaking, reading and writing </p>&

55、lt;p>　　1. Body language helps to improve listening </p><p>　　The Greek philosopher Epictetus ever wittily said: "Nature has given man one tongue and two ears that he may hear twice as much as he spea

56、ks." 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 abilities. In thi

57、s process, if the body language is used, the effect will be better. When beginning a new lesson, the teacher narrates the story outline in English. The</p><p>　　2. Body language helps to improve speaking <

59、eir teacher's body language.</p><p>　　The contemporary emphasis is gradually laid on spoken English teaching. The first lesson of every unit in Junior English begins with dialogue. The teaching programs

60、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 learning and using E

61、nglish. In the English class, the teachers should not only use body languages themselves, but also ask the students to </p><p>　　3. Body language helps to improve reading </p><p>　　The purpose o

62、f Junior English teaching is to train the students' preliminary ability of using spoken and written English. In the junior school, we lay emphasis on the reading ability that serves the students' further study. H

63、ere we mainly mention the helpfulness for reading aloud in public. Reading aloud helps the students to get a correct pronunciation and intonation and to develop the combination of vocabularies' pronunciation, spellin

64、g and meaning. Furthermore it also helps the students to fi</p><p>　　In a word, the vivid gesture together with the fluent English can create a good circumstance of learning, which will surely play an active

65、 part in improving the students' reading ability.4. Body language helps to improve writing. </p><p>　　Writing is one of the four basic skills of learning language, and it is such an important skill that

66、 we can even say without it, people can't 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 i

67、s mentioned in the teaching programs. To some extent, writing is much more important than speaking, for it can spread without the limitation of space and time. Since the students learn</p><p>　　A lot of us m
