    Different types of TV programmes reflect different types of communication. Recreational programmes focus on relaxing and amusing topic, so the anchors always pay attention to nonverbal communication besides their words; while some news programmes often focus on serious topic in formal circumstance, the nonverbal communicative application of the anchors is not so obvious as that of anchors to host entertainment programmes.

5.2 The influence of nonverbal communicative approach in the teaching and the implication to teaching.
Teaching is not only imparting knowledge to students, but also is communication between teachers and students. In the communication between teachers and students, nonverbal communication is more important than verbal one. The body language of both teachers and students plays active role in teaching. Teachers need to work hard to captivate and sustain the attention of students in order to vitally engage students. Teachers need to be aware that power in captivating and influencing students is often in the nonverbal aspects of teaching and communication. Students are often more attentive to what teachers do than to what they say. Teachers need to concern themselves with visual issues and body language in communication and teaching.
In general speaking, nonverbal symbol communicate two-way emotion of both teacher and students to send the teaching message successfully; nonverbal symbol can attract attention of students which is beneficial to organize and optimize teaching; nonverbal symbol conveys more rich and vivid message of knowledge to increase density of message and degree of students’ acceptance of useful message.

    Teachers can benefit a lot from body language: Firstly, the teachers can penetrate into students’ inner thought and get a proper way to communicate with the students by correctly identifying their body language; secondly, body language can be used effectively by teachers to show their rich emotions. To be a good teacher, it is very important to set yourself as a good example. Good communicative techniques in both verbal and nonverbal ways can help you to be an attractive communicator. Here, we mainly focus on body language to show how it plays its role in teaching.
    Effective teachers know instinctively how to use effective body languages to gain and hold students’ interest. They are also aware of the impact that body languages have upon students and are always looking for opportunities to incorporate these into their lessons.
5.2.1Physical appearance
    Physical attractiveness is an advantage in interpersonal communication. Physical appearance is especially important during first impressions. This rule also works between teachers and students. Generally speaking, the students have formed a conception that the fat teacher is kind and easygoing, but the thin one is serious and incommunicative. A beautiful or handsome teacher is more easily attractive than the common one. A beautiful voice can absorb the student, but young teacher with strong body and butch haircut can frighten the students.
