在日常生活中人们通常重视言语交际的作用,往往忽视了这样一个事实:在面对面的人际交往中,大多数的信息是通过非言语的方式传递的。当前,既然我们英语课堂教学的最终目的被定义为培养学生的语言交际能力,那么,作为交际能力的重要组成部分,非言语交际能力不应被忽视。英语教师,作为英语知识的传播者,首先应该具备非言语交际能力。 In everyday life, people often value the role of verbal communication, often neglecting the fact that in face-to-face interpersonal communication, most of the information is delivered in a non-verbal way. At present, since the ultimate goal of our English classroom teaching is defined as cultivating students’ communicative competence, nonverbal communicative competence should not be neglected as an important part of communicative competence. English teachers, as communicators of English knowledge, should first of all have non-verbal communication skills.
