with each other. It refers to the patterns of facial expressions and gestures that
people use to express their feelings in communication. The specialist on body
language research, Fen. Lafle. Angles, once said: "Once it was lost, a baby could not have grown into a normal person". It's also true to the juveniles. In school educati-on, body language plays a positive role in cultivating the students' characters.

I. Introduction
As everyone knows, the classroom teaching is one of the most important ways
that the students learn English. As far as the English teaching in the middle
schools is concerned, teachers have to arouse the students' interest 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.
For a long time, people who are addicted to language study only emphasize spoken language and written language. while non spoken language(body language) is often ignored. A research programme makes it clear that: most messages in emotion and attitude is transported by non spoken language (body language).It’s clear that body language is playing a very important in English teaching and actual communication.
Body language can express people’s feelings by gesture,facial expression,eye contact, body action, decent look and so on. Not only can body language take place of spoken language, but also it can widen the range of communication, express or conceal feelings, enrich languages, make expressions more active and vivid, provide much information and deepen the content exc.
The function of body language can be seen in the following sides:
1. Teaching in class. It is valid for teachers and students exchange their feelings. At the same time, It’s good for students to remember and grasp what they have learned.
2. Feed back the message of teaching and study.
3. Control the behavior of class students.
The affection of teachers' body language on the students 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, teacher-s' friendly appearance 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 specific and figurati-ve. As a
result, the students' interest is motivated and the effect of teaching is greatly improved
II. Body Language In Several Fields
Well, in which fields can we take advantage of body language to make great progress of English teaching? Now I will make introductions from several sides.
1. Facial expression
Facial expression is a kind of “world language” in human beings history. One’s happiness, worriness, thinking, sorrow, surprise and shock all can be reflected through facial expressions. If we teachers can make good use of facial expressions according to actual situations, it’s likely to improve the atmosphere of class effectively and increase the standard of teaching effects. Always keeping smiling can encourage and praise our students .However, Cut-and-dry facial expression will make students feel confused. Smiling is really very important in teaching. To many students, English study, which demands that teachers should encourage students to be active, confident, and affirmative is very difficult, dry and hard to learn. So smiling is the very way to improve the problem. It’s very important for our English teachers to bring smiles into class at times and carry them out completely.
2. The second language – gesture in class
Our teachers can send our thoughts and express our feelings correctly by using exact and adaptive gestures. What’s more, a teacher will strengthen the persuasion and affection. In a word, The changing of gesture is the quickest and most and the meanings of it are abundant. At the same time, it’s very important to use gesture compendiously, properly, naturally and diversiformly.
3. Eye contact
Eyes are the mirror of our hearts. Judging from the messages in eyes, we can achieve his confusion in mind, like and dislikes, agreement and disagreement of his attitude.
Eyes can speak, send information and effectively express the exquisite feelings. What’s more, teachers can see if our students listen to lessons carefully and the results of teaching in students’ eyes. Teachers can use eye contact to encourage students and control students’ behaviors in order to accomplish teaching aims.
4. Body distance
Body distance among people is also meaningful, which is a kind of silent language. If we teachers stand in different places in class, it will have different effects on students’ mind and bring in different domino affect .A research puts it: Keeping the distance of 2-3.5 metres with students, a teacher can control his students very well.
When students read after we teachers, we teachers who can get down to students and go up to students space will control his class, find and correct his students’ mistakes in pronunciation and intonation. and then, students will come to life and listen to teachers attentively. Many teachers have found it’s not so impactful to use multimedia to teach English because they often stand far away from their students.
In a word, we shouldn’t ignore the body language to teach English. Making full use of body language attentively, we can organize the class, build up the emotive communication between us and students, activate the mood of students’ to study, extrude the emphases of teaching and improve the result of teaching and so on. So we should use body language logically, measurably, exactly and attentively. It is bound to have a favorable effect on teaching to do this.
III. How To Use Body Language
When we know body language is very important, How can we use the body language? In my own opinion, I think a teacher can combine spoken English with body language together when the teacher teach English. Frankly speaking, teacher can use body language as possible as you can.
teachers can use their facial expression reasonably in class. smiling shows teacher’s friendly attitude to their students. How can teachers bring their smiling to the students .I suggest that a teacher should tell his students some humorous stories which he have read. What is more, a teacher can encourage his students to act out some funny, lovely and interesting short plays or to tell other some interesting tales and so on. Being a teacher, he should get into the habit of humorous and optimistic life view. “Education is very important. But it is not necessary for a teacher to always keep numb and dry.”
Sometimes, teachrs’ students behavior are not so good as you have expected in their class. they can keep still and stare at him or her, which shows their anger or attention to him or her. Then his students must realize what is his care. As a result, techer can go on with his lesson without stopping class for a long time. Sometimes, the students who are shy dare not answer your questions loudly. At that time, teacher can show your smiling to encourage them efficiently. In the end, he will finish his class smoothly.
In some class, a teacher can inspire his students to do some interesting tries. For example, when we study something about water, teacher can make his students do some tries like this: first, fill in a glass with some water. Second, cover the glass with a piece of thick paper, and put one of his hands on the piece of paper. Third, put the upside down. At last, move his hand away slowly. Now , the teacher can ask them some questions about water in time because all of them must pay all of their attention to the try. I believe at that time all students must be very interested in the try and they are very excited about it. They will try best to finish their task to answer the questions, listen to their teacher carefully and think about it attentively.
To make the class more effective , vivid and impressive, a teacher should do his best to make them interested in his class. What he have worn and his look will affect his teaching result. Adding some body action will make what he want to teach vivid. For example, when he teaches the word “hop”he can let one of his students do the action. I believe that they will remember the word very well. If the teacher want to tell the differences between some expressions such as “bring” and “take”, “empty” and “full”, “smile” “laugh” “laugh at” and so on, he can make his students do all these actions to express them clearly and impressively. From these actions, the teacher can enrich his class a lot. Especially in some primary schools, he can use body language a lot. For example, he can show “ one” to “ten” by gestures and teach some expressions such as “ come” “go” “sit down” “stand up” “cry” “sleep” “run” “drink” and so on by body language.
In some cases, a teacher’ students need him to inspire and encourage them constantly. When they finish their tasks, they are expecting to be judged. teacher can show his forgiveness to them when they have made some mistakes and put his thumb to express “good” “great” or “excellent” when they carry out the tasks correctly. As a result, the students will be greatly encouraged by you. They will try their best to study English well.
Being a teacher, he will love his students whom he is teaching. A pat on his or her head or a smile can show a teacher’s love and encouragement. After class, the teacher can also use body language to set an example to your students. “ Examples are better than any instructions,” many people said. When a teacher meet someone that he knows, he can use some gestures to say “hi” or “ hello” to them. That a teacher picks up a piece of waste paper and then put it into a dustbin will set a very good example to his students and contribute a great deal to help his students to get into a very good habit and form a attentive life view.
Amson said: “ A man’s eyes will express as much as his tongue. You will get everything from eyes from eyes. Being a teacher, he can often get a lot from his students’ eyes. If a student feels doubt about he has learnt, the teacher will know from his or her puzzled eyes. When a student does not look at the teacher but other places, the teacher will know that he or she does not listen to the teacher lesson carefully. Therefore, when a teacher gives his students a lesson, you should often look around the classroom to make sure that your students are listening to your class very carefully and make them know that the teacher is talking to them.
IV. Conclusion
Learning English needs practice. The 45 minutes in class is very precious andsh-
ould be cherished, during which the students should practice as much as possible. To
exert the limited time, teachers are required to adopt some effective methods. The use of body language can not only attract the students' attention, but also deepen their
impression and imagination. The use of body language is completely up to the standar-d ofaudio-visual teaching principle, so teachers should try to teach in English from
the beginning to the end,together with the correspondingbody language.In the end,the
students' ability of English will be certainly and greatly improved.
