探讨如何在英语课堂中讲授西方人士体态语

Discussion on how to Teach Body Language of Westerners in English Class

当下,对不同国家之间文化差异的理解与尊重日趋成为国际交流成功的关键。为了让学生与西方人士之间的沟通更具有效性,除了掌握与之相对应的语言外,理解西方人士的非语言交际行为已成为必要,而非语言交际中的体态语在学生与西方人士的交流中频繁发生,为了让学生减少在交流中因不懂西方人士的体态语而产生误解,例如护理专业的学生与外籍患者的沟通,本文提倡将西方人士体态语的知识点设计成课堂的听、说、读的活动,然后从课堂导入、阅读、听力和口语活动四个维度重点探讨英语教师该如何讲解西方人士体态语的理论知识。

Nowadays the appreciation and respect of cultural differences in different countries is of great importance in successful international communication. In an effort to make our students communicate with westerners effectively,it is necessary to have an understanding of the significance of nonverbal communication apart from mastering foreign languages accordingly. It is not uncommon to see that body language of nonverbal communication plays a big part in communication between our students and western people. What the paper suggests is that we should associate the westerners＇ theoretical knowledge of body language with listening,speaking and reading activities in English class,then focus on discussing how to let students master these theoretical knowledge in English class from four aspects,such as,warm-ups,reading activities. Therefore,misunderstandings caused by our students＇ ignorance of westerners＇ body language,to some degrees,can be avoided.
