摘  要:随着科学技术和新课改的发展和进步，人们也越来越看重英语。小学英语教学也越来越全面、完善。但是怎样才能上好一节英语课？大量研究实验表明，成功的课堂教学，除了教师教学能力和自身修养外，肢体语言在英语教学中的运用也是十分重要的。

怎样在小学英语教学中有效的运用肢体语言呢？首先要了什么是肢体语言。肢体语言在英语教学中十分重要。它激励学生学习，融洽师生关系，更直观地进行教学。虽然形象直观、易模仿运用的肢体语言能够帮助教师上好一堂英语课，但同时也需要自然协调、准确合理、恰当得体的使用。这样既能帮助学生们提高听、说、读、写能力，又激发他们学习英语的兴趣。但目前国内外肢体语言还有很大差异，所以现阶段肢体语言在小学英语教学中的使用还存在着使用不恰当，过于单一，不重视学生等问题。本文对此也提出了一些建议。如果想要让老师上好一节英语课，一定要合理恰当的在英语课堂中使用肢体语言。

1.1 Background

Famous limb linguist Fen. Lafle. Angles suggests that if there is no help with body language, the baby will not be able to learn and grow. Thus, body language is very necessary not only in English teaching, but also in our lives.

Teachers’ body language plays an important role in primary school English teaching. Grant Hennings (1971) argues that 82% of classroom teaching effect is achieved through teacher’s expression and behavior, and only 18% information is expressed through language.
