3.1 The Relationship between Using Body Language and Affective Teaching
As we have mentioned in last chapter, affective factors have a great influence on the classroom teaching. In order to make full use of those positive factors, teachers have to establish a harmonious, affective relationship with students, thus both of them will enjoy the teaching process in classroom.
How can we create a harmonious teaching environment? To a great extent, it depends on the foreign language teachers’ behavior, that is, what and how foreign language teachers do. For one thing, foreign language teachers should give learners a sense of belonging and a positive environment. For the other thing, it is teacher’s responsibility to instruct students carefully, so that they can catch up with the teaching steps.
Using body language properly is a good way. Body language is an important media through which people communicate 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 body couldn’t have grown into a normal person”. [10]3.2. The Necessity of Using Body Language in English Teaching
Classroom teaching is one of the most important ways of learning English. The teacher has to arouse the students’ learning interest and achieve the best teaching result in 45 minutes.

But, as a matter of fact, the students are not so good at English and their vocabulary and expressive ability are limited, too. According to the students’ present level and practical situation, the teachers have to simplify their teaching language with the help of facial expressions and body movements so as to smoothen the communication between the teacher and the students. Body language is much needed.

In school education, body language helps to cultivate the students’ characters. For, teachers are usually respected, and teachers’ behaviors will be possibly imitated by the students (sometimes subconsciously). That is to say, teachers’ graceful body language plays a positive role in improving the students’ artistic-appreciation and moral character, which will possibly lead them to form an optimistic personality and have a more smooth interpersonal relation.
The affection of teachers’ body language is reflected not only by establishing a good example, but also by strengthening the teacher-student relationship, on the foundation of which a more harmonious studying atmosphere is created. In fact, teachers’ friendly appearance can greatly encourage the students’ studying enthusiasm.
Furthermore, the characteristics of that theoretic and abstract knowledge also require a vivid, dramatic and accessible way to make it more specific and figurative. As a result, the students’ interest is motivated and the effect of teaching is greatly improved. 4. A Part of Body Language---- Eye Contact
