Abstract

Communication with people is achieved through words. While using words and body language in verbal communication, sign language is used with the deaf and dumb. Sending messages to others can be with our words, sometimes only with our body language. As educators teaching in different branches, we need words and body language to communicate with students influentially. Correct use of body language ensures that the message is conveyed to students more effectively and rapidly. In this study, pre-service teachers will be advised about the importance of body language, the experienced educators’ opinions about body language and its necessity in classroom management will be shared. According to experienced teachers, the correct use of body language facilitates the teachers’ class management skills. Hence, this article focuses primarily on why teachers should be good senders and receivers of nonverbal communication. The study was qualitative research, and a google-form interview technique was used. We demonstrated ten experienced teachers’ views from the researchers’ workplace about the significance of the usage of body language based on 3 open and 2 close ended questions.
