Body Language as a Teaching and Learning Aid in the Educational Process (Primary Stage as an Example)
SHERZAD ABDALKARIM QADIR, Nawzad Anwar Omar
This study focuses on paying attention to body language, mime, and nonverbal communication in the teaching and educational process, specifically in the primary stage. Facial expressions, eye contact, body posture, hand and foot movements, and body language are an essential part of conveying emotions, ideas, and intentions. Approximately 50-70 percent of communication is conveyed through body language, which is highly influential in terms of student involvement and understanding. Body language can help the teacher create a positive classroom environment, foster confidence and a strong teacher-student relationship, and help maintain classroom control within limits. Proper nonverbal messages and body language will help in capturing the interest of students, understanding them better, and learn more. Moreover, educators should know how to compromise their cultural differences in body language to prevent misunderstanding and communication failure. Lastly, the research suggests the conscious usage of body language in the teaching process, which is clearly essential in the process of success and shaping individuals in their learning process. Body language is very effective in establishing relationships, student engagement, and understanding, and this plays a significant role when it comes to teaching a language and education in general. As such, educators should apply body language in a positive conscious manner in order to develop an effective and healthy learning environment.

However, it can also be used to analyze nonverbal communication. Body language can be interpreted and analysed as a complete verbal act because body language as an active nonverbal communication system, as verbal communication, creates and conveys meaning independently. Thus, body language can, as a complete system of verbal actions, perform illocutionary acts and subjunctive actions and carry the same purpose of the functions of speech acts: (imposing laws, requests, promises, expressions, decisions), because every body movement, a sender uses as a purpose and affects the recipient; therefore, that body language can be analysed as a complete system of speech acts.
