Reading your students’ body language Pedagogy Circle Nov. 20, 2009 Joanne Chesley, Ed. D. CETL
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.
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).
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.
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).
So, to what body language should we pay attention? ,[object Object]
torso
legs, feet
arms
hands
FaceYes, all of them!
Types of Body Language
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
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)
Bored Body Language signals that we would rather not be there, or that the material is uninteresting or irrelevant  looking anywhere but at the presenter doodling talking to others staring tapping toes watching the clock yawning, looking sleepy, slouching in seat face is blank
Closed Body Language signals that we are feeling threatened, so we place a barrier there for protection that we need to be nurtured (arms wrapped together) that we need to hide something  that we are cold  that we are relaxed Arms folded or crossed (one or both) Legs crossed Head is down and away
Dominant Body Language signals need to feel big and powerful Making the whole body seem bigger by placing hands on hips to be wider, standing very erect to be taller, chin up and chest out to feel powerful, legs apart shrug shoulders, smirk break rules invade belittle frown, sneer, snarl phallic display holding a gaze monopolizing and manipulating conversation often does not give eye contact (feels others don’t deserve it)

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).

Dominant Body Language signals need to feel big and powerful Making the whole body seem bigger by placing hands on hips to be wider, standing very erect to be taller, chin up and chest out to feel powerful, legs apart shrug shoulders, smirk break rules invade belittle frown, sneer, snarl phallic display holding a gaze monopolizing and manipulating conversation often does not give eye contact (feels others don’t deserve it)
