IntroductionHuman communication consists of verbal communication and nonverbal communication. Many investigati
9、ons have shown that the information passed by verbal communication is only 35% and the rest part of it is delivered through a non-verbal communication. Also Linguist David Abercrombie points out that “we speak with vocal, but we talked with the entire body” (Zhan, 2010). In addition, Terence Hawkes
10、also pointed out that “No one is only talking. Any speech acts are included the information transferred through the gestures, posture, facial expressions, eyes, body contact and other such languages to complete”. From that we can clearly see the non-verbal communication plays an important role in hu
11、man communication, especially in English teaching.Body language is a significant form of non-verbal communication and plays an irreplaceable role by non-verbal patterns in English teaching. It is an effective teaching way that teachers use their body movements to teach and express themselves such as
12、 gestures, eye contact, facial expressions and postures.However, what is the definition of body language? There are many kinds of definitions from experts. Some scholars hold the view that body language is a language without words, and others give a similar statement that body language indicates all
13、 communicative symbols except oral speech. Samover (1981) have made some attempts on more specific definition about body language like this: Body language is the socially, biologically, psychologically or culturally framed exchange of valuable messages which are not verbally spoken out but conveyed
14、by the body, gesture, symbols or relevant context and surrounding environment etc.Generally speaking, body language refers to a non-verbal pattern conveying information through facial expressions, gestures, actions. People can use body language to help them express more easily and understood. Someti
15、mes it is more specific, richer and more moving than spoken language.The paper gives a brief introduction about the body language, presents a complete English class and shows the theories of English teaching. The main contents of the paper include: the current situation of English teaching in rural
16、primary school, methodology, the application of body language in rural primary school English teaching and the conclusion.2. Relevant Theories on Body LanguageThere are many theories closely related to body language. In this thesis, the author tries to discuss how Speech Act Theory and Multiple inte
17、lligences theory can be applied to the interpretation of body language.2.1 Speech act theory in body language“The production or issuance of a sentence token under certain conditions is a speech act and speech acts are the basic or minimal units of linguistic communication” (Searle, 2001). Speech Act
18、 Theory is the first major theory in the study of language in use, which originated with the Oxford philosopher John Langshaw Austin. His theory finds great expression in How to Do Things with Words, which states that to say something is to do something. As we all know, all linguistic communication
19、involves linguistic acts. Of all the issues in the general theory of language usage, speech act theory has probably aroused the widest interest (Levinson, 2001). In Austins opinion, there are three senses in which saying something may be understood as doing something:(i) Locutionary act: “when we sp
20、eak we move our vocal organs and produce a number of sounds, organized in a certain way and with a certain meaning” (Hu & Jiang, 2002). For example, when somebody says “It is cold in the classroom”, we can ask a question like “What did he do?” The answer could be that he produced a sentence“It is co
21、ld in the classroom”.(ii) Illocutionary act: “when we speak, we not only produce some units of language with certain meanings, but also make clear our purpose in producing them, the way we intend them to be understood, or they also have certain forces as Austin prefers to say. Illocutionary force ma
22、y be said to be equivalent to speakers meaning, contextual meaning, or extra meaning, and maybe translated into Chinese as 言外之意 ” (Hu & Jiang, 2002). (iii) Perlocutionary act: “it concerns with the consequential effects of a locution upon the hearer. By telling somebody something the speaker may cha
23、nge the opinion of the hearer on something, or mislead him, or surprise him, or induce him to do something, etc. whether or not these effects are intended by the speaker, they can be regarded as part of the act that the speaker has performed” (Hu & Jiang, 2002). For example, after hearing “It is col
24、d in the classroom”, the listener may stand up to close the door or window. These three acts are reflected in body language. First, locutionary act in body language can be considered as the displays of body language signs, such as facial expressions, postures, gestures, and so on. Second, illocution
