With the continual reform of language teaching and learning methods

teachers are strongly demanded to organize the classes in English and create English-learning environment. However

because of the limitation of students’ vocabulary

teachers must use facial expressions and body movements

so that they try to simplify their teaching language. Therefore

teachers should use some body language to improve the efficiency of teaching. Never underestimate its effect in the whole process of English learning. Body language has been widely used in class. It can strengthen the stimulation of language information input

and make a deeper impression on students. It is an important supplement of vocal language. On the one hand

it can stir the students’ interest. In expressing some subtle ideas

body language can be a very good helper in English teaching

so English study is not dull any more. On the other hand

the teachers can have a better understanding about the students

their thoughts and their behaviors. Moreover

it helps the students to improve listening

speaking

reading and writing level. Therefore

in English class

the teachers should pay more attention to body language and properly use it. This article will explore the application of body language in English teaching of middle school.
