الملخص الإنجليزي

In English teaching, with the constant reform of teaching methods, body language as a kind of nonverbal language plays a very significant role in the interaction between teachers and students.

It not only can express the speakers’ intention more accurately and effectively, simplify the teaching instruction, stimulate the students’ interest, optimize the purpose of English teaching and enhance teaching effectiveness, but also can help improve the students’ ability of listening, speaking, reading and so on.

Body language is largely culture-specific, and rests, for its comprehension, on people’s sharing socio-cultural and linguistic norms.

In cross-cultural communication, L2 speakers’ use of body language may convey meaning that is not understood or misinterpreted by the interlocutors, affecting the pragmatics of communication.

In spite of its importance for cross-cultural communication, body language is neglected in ESL/EFL teaching in Iraq.

This study is conducted with students from Wasit University /English Department/first level.

The study aims at helping English teachers understand the use of body language in teaching conversation and encouraging students to try using body language in classes in order to assist their teaching.

The English teachers should use body language properly in their class teaching and bring its function in language teaching into full play to achieve the best teaching effects.
