AbstractBody language is a powerful supplementary tool in English teaching, because body language in teaching has direct, supplementary and actual characters. Teachers’ friendly appearance can greatly encourage the students’ study enthusiasm. A teacher always with a smile is thought to convey warmth and promote a supportive and non-threatening classroom atmosphere. Eye contact between teacher and students can help teachers decide the teaching should stop or continue; it also can make students and teachers have a good relationship. Naturally posture and lively gestures can make students have a positive attitude. The correct use of body language and word in English can improve the effect of teaching and learning.
