　　1. Concept of body language
　　Hu Wenzhon said：“Non-verbal behavior includes eye contact， gestures， facial expression and so on. Some scholars think that， when people communicate with each other， 30% of the messages are conveyed by verbal behavior， and 70% are delivered by means of nonverbal behavior”（胡文仲， 1999：94）. Therefore we can see people communicate with each other by their body language in the ways of nodding， waving， eye contacting， shrugging and so on. According to the research results of psychologists， these ways can express what the verbal language cannot directly.
　　2. Classification of body language.
　　There are various forms in body language and much content is in it. Therefore teachers are required to analyze and classify it， to put its various forms in order and to master it skillfully and scientifically；thus we can make it more systematic，， standard and operational.Body language can be divided into：
　　l） Facial expression：to express emotions， feelings， attitudes， etc. by facial expressing；
　　2） Limb movements：to describe things， or to express thoughts， ideas and feelings through the movements of limbs；
　　3） Body postures：that is， setting moving body’s posture to express feelings or to explain things.
　　3. Research on my Class
　　This part of my study was conducted from Feb. 28th， 2015 to Mar. 6th， 2017 when I taught in Nanhua Experimental School in Shenzhen， I met a difficult problem that most of my students are week in English， moreover， they have little interest in having English class. Therefore， I decide to make a research so that I can enhance their interest in having English class and improve their level of English.
　　4. Implementation of Body Language in Classroom English Instruction
　　This part of my study was conducted during Mar. 8th 2015 and Mar. 29th 2016， according to the purpose of middle school English teaching， which is to improve the students’ four skills of listening， speaking， reading and writing， with the base of necessary phonetics， large vocabulary and well-structured sentences. But this is not the final purpose. The final purpose is to enable students to communicate with English language. Therefore， I applied body language in my class， as a result， it helps to improve listening， speaking， reading and writing.
