There are many studies focus on the use of body language in culture communication. People from different countries can communication with each other by using body language. What’s more body language helps us to express ourselves better. However, the significance of body language in teaching, especially in primary school English teaching has been ignored. It is common that many teachers in primary school ignore body language. For example, teachers often focus on their books without making any eye contract with their students. As a result, the students may lose interest in what teachers are talking. Some teachers are quite serious without any face expressions. This leads the students to feel boring about the contents of the class. They give the students an impression of awkwardness and serious, thus sometimes the students may not be able to listen to the teacher in a relaxed emotion. There are many examples about teachers’ ignorance of body language. Through this thesis I would like to explore the significance of body language in primary school English teaching. It will be of great importance to stir the students’ interest and improve the quality of English teaching. 二．国内外研究现状 At present, English is more and more important. Chinese began to learn English at an early age. People have difficult in learning English, we can use our body language to express ourselves correctly.

For instance, Rivers , an American linguist who writers The Psychologist and the Foreign Language Teacher, explores the importance of foreign language teachers’ quality including a teacher should understand people’s behavior, gesture , and facial expression and points out that a teacher should uses the body language more often. Just as western countries, China has also paid more attention to the research of body language in education field. In order to improve the teaching quality and create a happy classroom atmosphere, many scholars and writers make several researches on it. For example.
