The Study For Teacher’s Utilization Of Body Language On Collective Teaching Activities Of The Bottom Class In Kindergarten

A neurophysiology research shows that oral language is received by the left hemisphere of the brain and body language is accepted by the right. The combination of both oral language and body language can harmonize your left and right brain and make dynamic audio-visual images. Kindergarten children in early stage are young and have short intentional attention and low comprehension. Besides, it is much easier to get their attentions with the help of visual and vivid images. In collective teaching education of kindergarten, children will tired of learning if their teachers keep using verbal language during a teaching activity. Otherwise, teachers’ proper use of body language can not only raise kids’ interest in learning and to help them to understand what their teachers are teaching, but also benefit to teachers’ instructional organization and regulation. Thus, teachers’ utilization of body language plays an important role in teaching activities, children and teachers. This study chooses 20 collective teaching activities which are organized by 4 teachers from junior class in some kindergarten as the observational object of the study. By using observational method, I observe and record the true condition of teachers’ using of body language. And then, combining the cases, I make some educational suggestions. I sincerely hope this study can provide some reference values for teachers from junior kindergarten organizing collective teaching activities.This paper is divided into four parts: The introduction part shows the reasons and meaning of doing this research. It also defines three concepts, which are body language, teachers’ body language, body language of kindergarten teachers, and summarize the study actuality both abroad and at home. The second part states research problems, research methods, research objects and so on in detail. The third part is about current condition analysis on teachers’ utilization of body language in collective activities. Through the combination of both data analysis and case study research method, we analyze the real condition of teachers’ utilization of body language in collective teaching activities in junior kindergarten, according to which we conclude the characters and functions of body language. In the last part, we discuss the research conclusion and some practical suggestions. Also, problems in this study and the direction of the future study are put forward to account for the body language.
