Body language and students
1. Reading your students’ body language Pedagogy Circle Nov. 20, 2009 Joanne Chesley, Ed. D. CETL
2. Why does this matter? Teaching is largely about communicating. information and skills (in addition to changing behaviors) Communication is largely non-verbal. Understanding the non-verbal communication we give and receive from students improves teaching and learning.
3. A tiny piece of the research…… “There are two aspects to effective use of body language. The firstinvolves the speaker’s choice and use of gesture, intonation, facial expression and visual features(clothing, make-up, grooming etc.). The second aspect has to do with accurate perception and interpretation of others’ nonverbal messages (Goldin-Meadow, 2004; Goldin-Meadow & Sandhofer, 1999).
4. Thus, each party’s effective use of nonverbal behaviors (gesture,facial expression, intonation, appearance etc.) can play a significant role in the effectiveness of discussions” (Rüştü Yeşil, 2008, p.895). Rüştü Yeşil (2008). Evaluation of body language behavior in a class debate. Social Behavior and Personality, 36 (7), 893-902.
5. These two aspects are not always complementary. Sometimes verbal and nonverbal messages can contradict one another (Alibali et al., 1997; Goldin-Meadow & Sandhofer,1999). Sometimes the receivers of these messages can interpret the speaker’s nonverbal messages inaccurately (Goldin-Meadow, 2004; Goldin-Meadow & Wagner, 2005).
13. Aggressive Body Language signals thoughts of or intent to use force or other form of aggression can be shown in the face, from disapproving frowns and pursed lips to sneers and full snarls. clenching of fists , spreading of the body for stability removing clothing or jewelry in an angry manner moving into the other person’s space
14. Attentive Body Language signals interest in the other person and the message; is usually reciprocated ignoring distractions (phone, talking, other) stillness leaning forward tilting the head gazing furrowed brow Interest noises Open body (= open mind)

18. Open Body Language signals change in feeling or thinking; when we are ready to accept something, when we are being attacked, when we are supplicating and when we are resting. seen in arms and legs relaxed, not crossed hands are open (not hiding anything) face is directed at the person of interest eyes contact is good, moves away at times (so not perceived as a stare)
19. Submissive Body Language signals fear and readiness to submit hunching inwards; making the body smaller, arms held in (I don’t want to be seen) motionlessness (I won’t fight back) head down to protect neck and to avoid eye contact which is seen as aggressive hands out, palms up widening the eyes (like a baby) eyes are attentive, hanging on to every word
20. Readiness Body Language signals readiness to do something some body part (head, hand, arm, foot, or eyes) will point in the direction of the activity body is tensed, either holding arm rests of chair, or things in hand are gripped tightly thumbs in pocket (“I’m ready to …”) fingers hook clothing continuing conversation
