The use of body language in english teaching
CONCLUSION……………………………………………………………………...28REFERENCES…………………………………………………………...................29 INTRODUCTIONBody language is an important medium that help people communicate and express through the body parts we can see, we can also call it silent language. Body language can be divided into sight language, body touch language, posture, gesture, manner, facial expression, and clothes language [1]. The body language plays an important role in language communication. Body language can express how one feels by the way one sites, stands, moves, etc. rather than by words[2]. If teachers can use body language more efficient, it can help to improve the relationship between teachers and students. English Curriculum Standard recommends implementing Task-based Approach in English teaching so as to do things with words and foster students’ comprehensive competence of using the language. So let students play in learning, learn in play, that’s can cultivate their interest in learning English. Teachers design a variety of activities, in order to accomplish classes in enjoyable activities. But primary school students are lively, good at imitating, and easier to accept new things. Therefore, we advocate the use of body language, try to provide an image communication space for students to accept easily. Body language can help teachers manage the class, express their affection, and can easily handle the teaching of language knowledge at the same time. Using body language in English teaching in Primary schools can arouse students’ interest in English learning and help them understand the contents in class, due to students’ characteristics. Firstly, attention of students of primary school is unstable and impersistent. Moreover, it is rather related to their interest. Only when the matter is vivid, particular and novel, will students pay much attention to it. Secondly, as the main form, the concrete thinking in image increasingly changes into the abstract thinking in logic which is the fundamental characteristic of students’ mental development. However, the abstract thinking in logic is closely linked to perceptual experience. Lastly, students’ memory is unconscious, special and inflexible. Body language can be seen as the suitable way to express people's feelings and attitudes. This term sometimes called Non-verbal communication, it can be used for teaching. Many teachers can use these body clues intentionally or unintentionally. This chapter includes the proposed structure of the study. This study intended to see to what extent is the body language important in communication, in teaching English language and how to maintain classroom interaction more effective. The study also wanted to find out the importance of body language to both students and teachers inside and outside classroom so as to express their feelings, attitudes and meanings. This importance appears when there is a long distance between the speaker and the listener. Bowden (2010: 6-7) showed a wide range of communication includes body language as the most among three main elements. These three elements are commonly understood as basic elements in any face-to-face human communication: words, tone of voice, and body language. The first category, the word, is known as verbal communication in spoken or written forms, and the last two categories, tone of voice and body language, are known as nonverbal communication. Non verbal elements have been found to be particularly important for communicating the information that forms a receiver's understanding of the feelings, attitudes or intent behind a communication. The above quotation indicated that it is true to such an extent that our body language accounts for 55percent understanding process while tone of voice accounts for 38 percents and the verbal content, the words, supplies only 7 percent of the perceived overall person's feelings, attitudes, or communicator communicates. Callahan, in body language magic indicated that body Language is the unspoken or nonverbal mode of communication that we do in every single aspect of our interaction with other person. It is like mirror that tells us what the other person thinks and feels in response to our words (verbal language) or actions. As was been stated body language involves gestures, mannerisms and other bodily signs. It was said that in real life situations, 60% to 80 % of the messages that people convey to communicate to other people are transmitted through body language and actual verbal communication accounts for only 7 % to 10 %. It was also pointed out that the person's ability to use body language is the positive way to read other people's minds through their body language and it seemed to separate the men from the boys (or women from girls) and can be a powerful tool to overall personality development. So to read on and find out how you can read and understand a person's body language-the most used yet most misunderstood secret language in the world need to be recognized and appreciate as a difficult task in all situations. This significance of body language to human communication is the major field of study which encouraged the researcher focused on it as a subject of study to draw clear attention of teachers, learners, educational institutes and new researchers to work hard in order to find out the problems or weakness, or the misunderstanding or misuse of the body language in the means of communication in general, and in the field of education in particular and attempts will also made to suggest the possible solution to the expected problems in the future. In addition to, great efforts will also do to see how this body expression plays a role in understanding a language. Download 76.6 Kb. Do'stlaringiz bilan baham: |
