Body Language in Education and Effective Recommendations to Pre-Service Teachers in Classroom Management

Abstract

Communication with people is achieved through words. While using words and body language in verbal communication, sign language is used with the deaf and dumb. Sending messages to others can be with our words, sometimes only with our body language. As educators teaching in different branches, we need words and body language to communicate with students influentially. Correct use of body language ensures that the message is conveyed to students more effectively and rapidly. In this study, pre-service teachers will be advised about the importance of body language, the experienced educators' opinions about body language and its necessity in classroom management will be shared. According to experienced teachers, the correct use of body language facilitates the teachers' class management skills. Hence, this article focuses primarily on why teachers should be good senders and receivers of nonverbal communication. The study was qualitative research, and a google-form interview technique was used. We demonstrated ten experienced teachers' views from the researchers' workplace about the significance of the usage of body language based on 3 open and 2 close ended questions.

Online pedagogy: a changing higher education pedagogy and an emerging lecturer habitus

“…There are important implications if a bodily expression is theoretically recallable in its authentic sense: students who have a low opinion of themselves, arising from their low cultural capital embedded as part of their social and personal historical trajectory, may not use emoticons or words reflecting confusion or lack of understanding at the prompting of a lecturer, if they deem that to further lower their sense of self and confidence, perhaps because in a normal classroom situation, some students are already reluctant to express themselves (Abdulrahman, Bingol & Kara, 2022), as in an online class (Chloe), leaving a lecturer unsure about their extent of learning. Thus, Jane potentially receives inauthentic feedback, and she has no other mechanism to see the 'light bulb' in its original form as a confirmation of real learning.…”

Empowering Offline Pedagogical Hangman Games and Its Effect on EFL Learner’s Vocabulary Acquisition

“…Suppose EFL educators can creatively identify the proper media. Songs, games, stories, and other forms of media can all be used to help students learn new words (Abubakr Abdulrahman et al, 2022;Glaser, 2018). Everybody could have more pleasure if educators devised creative ways to employ games in the EFL classroom.…”

The Significance of Body Language in Foreign Language Learning and Teaching

“…Teachers of languages work to provide their students with the linguistic tools necessary for effective verbal and written communication. Additionally, verbal communication is essential to every element of life, and teachers must understand body language in order to communicate effectively with children (Abdulrahman Abubakr et al, 2022;Yildiz, 2016). Not only does body language play a significant role in the education of kids, but also in the development of their personalities, as we can all attest.…”
