(1) control
In normal life, our body language is quite casual. For example, when you meet an acquaintance, your face will be used to smiling to show good feelings; It's also fun to talk to people and gesture. Just be casual. The teacher is always in the focus of many students' sight on campus. His every move and smile affect the students' mood and bring positive or negative influence to teaching. Therefore, teachers' body language shows certain characteristics of "control".
Posture preset
When preparing lessons, most teachers can determine their body language tone according to the course content, and design or practice some important bodies in advance. This kind of preparation ensures the best combination of dictation and posture in classroom teaching, which is a performance of a teacher mastering teaching and becoming mature.
For example, an experienced primary school Chinese teacher wants to teach a painful composition "Farewell to Ten Miles". He can't be all smiles as soon as he enters the classroom. He will definitely adjust his posture and facial expression in advance to adapt to the content of the text. Song Jun, a famous special-grade teacher in Shandong Province, even carefully designed her costume: she wore a white gauze skirt, boarded the podium with a serious expression, and then turned on the radio to play sad music ... This body language, which seamlessly connected with the text, appropriately rendered a sad and depressed atmosphere and vividly reproduced the farewell scene. "We could feel her feelings at that time, even before she appeared", which laid a good foundation for successful speech and reading the text.
Step 2 adjust your expression
When you are happy, you laugh, when you are depressed, you bow your head, when you are angry, you look cold, and when you are sad, you have tears in your eyes ... The emotional reactions of these ordinary people sometimes have to be consciously and appropriately adjusted according to the needs of education and teaching, so that their feelings cannot flow freely in the body.
A student occasionally makes mistakes and conflicts with the teacher. At this time, even if the teacher is angry, it is not appropriate to get angry in public. It is to control your anger, your emotions and expressions until you calm down.
(2) selectivity
From the application effect, teachers' body language can be roughly divided into three categories: positive body language, negative body language and meaningless body language.
The so-called positive body language refers to the body language that can support or modify oral English teaching, strengthen the effect, improve teaching efficiency, express relevant teaching content independently, help students understand the doubts and difficulties of knowledge and stimulate their interest in learning. For example, Song Jun's body language mentioned above belongs to this category.
The so-called negative body language refers to the body language that can not only strengthen the classroom teaching effect, but also distract students' attention and affect their learning. For example, yawning in class, listlessness, etc., is this category.
The so-called meaningless body language is purely some habitual actions formed by teachers for some reason. For example, some teachers like to put their hands in their pockets or put their hands on the lecture table in class. This kind of body language generally does not interfere with lectures, but it has little practical significance.
Of course, not all body language with positive effects is suitable for teachers' needs. There are 1000 teachers and 1000 teaching methods. Teachers with different characteristics should choose their own body language in order to achieve perfect results.
The elderly should not use too many sports postures, but should establish a cautious, knowledgeable and loving body language tone; Young teachers should not be too mature, but should make their image full of vigor and vitality. Male teachers should be masculine, and female teachers should add some graceful beauty.
However, there are also views that old teachers should be more lively. For example, clothing (auxiliary body language system) might as well be brighter and brighter to increase vitality in self-sufficiency; Young teachers need to establish an "authoritative" image in students' minds, so that their manners and costumes can be deeper and more dignified. Female teachers may want to be more free and easy and masculine, while male teachers may be more delicate and caring. ...
(3) the nature of the discipline
Different subjects and different teaching contents need to use different body language, so teachers' body language has a more prominent discipline.
Generally speaking, body language is most commonly used in technical or artistic subjects, such as sports and dance. In the teaching of such subjects, oral English sometimes only plays the role of prompting and explaining, but mainly depends on teachers to demonstrate with body language for students to imitate learning. This kind of body language forms a fixed pattern and has a special meaning, which is often called "non-lexical language".
In Chinese, moral education and other liberal arts courses, body language is mostly used to simulate images, reproduce situations and demonstrate plots.
In mathematics, physics, chemistry and other science courses, the body language used has a prominent explanatory color, mainly showing principles and explaining things. Its main function is to turn abstraction into image and generalization into concreteness, paving the way for students to understand boring knowledge.
