Abstract

With the continual reform of language teaching and learning methods, teachers are in great demand to organize the classes in English and create English-learning circumstances. However, due to the limitation of students’ vocabulary, teachers have to simplify their teaching language with the help of facial expressions and body movements. It is an innovation in English teaching and is very popular in the English teaching in China nowadays.

Body language can be vocal language’s vital complement by intensifying the language information retention. So it should never be ignored in English teaching. Because it is not only a good tool to communicate with others and express oneself, it can also help teachers achieve a higher teaching goal. Therefore, in English class, teachers should pay enough attention to body language and use it properly as the teaching tactics.

This paper discusses the necessity and importance of body language in English teaching and the effect of using body language in listening, speaking, reading and writing. It aims to provide useful suggestions for effective English teaching.
