    Human beings communicate by two channels:verbal communication and nonverbal communication.However,for a long time,much attention and research have been given to verbal communication while nonverbal communication has almost been overlooked.In fact,the nonverbal communication conveys the majority of the information in face-to-face communication.Abereomile once pointed out:“we speak with our vital organs,but use converse with our whole body”.American psychologist Mehrahian found in his research that only about 7% of the emotional meaning of a message is expressed through explicit verbal channels.About 38% of it is vocal,basically communicated by the use of the voice,and about 55% of it is expressed via nonverbal ones,such as facial expression,gesture,posture,etc.Another opinion stated by Birdwhistell is that nonverbal communication accounts for at least 60-70% of what we communicate to one another.Although we have no way to judge whether the figures are accurate or not,at least they indicate that verbal communication and nonverbal communication are integrated in human communication and nonverbal communication is an indispensable action which plays a functional role in it.

    The nonverbal communication is necessary and significant in English classroom teaching in primary school.Grant and Hennings (1971) estimated 82% of the effect of classroom teaching is realized by the teacher’s nonverbal behavior,such as facial expressions,and only 18% of it is gained verbally.They stated that students are more responsive and attentive to the teacher’s facial expressions than speech.That is to say,students better accept messages conveyed nonverbally.The primary English classroom is a special communicating place.According to scientific researches that refer to pupils’ cognitive development laws and characteristics,the nonverbal communication is more important to be used in the English classroom teaching in primary schools.It’s widely agreed that the ultimate goal of learning English is to develop the ability to use English for successful communication.So the nonverbal communication has become more and more important in English teaching.Cooper remarked:“Nonverbal communication is quite important for teachers.Researches have shown that the relationship between teachers and students can be improved if teachers learn how to use nonverbal communication in classroom teaching.For example,whether or not a student decides to approach the professor about turning in an overdue paper might depend on his perception of the professor’s nonverbal behavior.If the professor has an open office door,smiles and appears friendly and approachable,he would probably conclude that this would be an appropriate time to discuss his late paper.Moreover,students’ cognitive competence and learning efficiency can be improved.” [1]

    A noted psychologist Jerome Bruner believes that when the children are between 3 and 12 years of age,they develop the ability to apply concrete image or visual imagery to express the knowledge and experience of outside world they acquired.It’s the best time for development of the children’s concrete thinking as well as for teachers to use the intuitional teaching methods,such as the use of visual aids,simple drawing,video,etc.Therefore,the nonverbal communication applied in primary English classroom teaching can enrich the teaching methods,stimulate the students’ interest and help achieve better teaching effects.

    My reasons to choose nonverbal communication as my topic are as follows.First,as human beings interact both verbally and nonverbally,by combining the verbal and nonverbal communications I can obtain some additional insights into things or people in my daily life.Second,I choose this topic with the purpose that this article could arouse some teachers’ awareness of the importance of nonverbal communication,as there is still ignorance among some teachers.Thirdly,I myself want to be an English teacher in my future career,so I attempt to explore the ways to improve English classroom teaching through applying nonverbal communication
