Teaching Procedures

Step 1 Revision　

　　Check the students' homework.And ask some students to say out the kinds of body language and the examples they have got or what they have observed in the body language of others.

Step 2 Speaking　

T:We have learnt so much about body language.Now it's time for us to practise.Here there are two situations.For each situation,prepare a role play with your partner.Use both spoken words and body language to express your ideas.Then explain to the class what the differences are in Western and Chinese body language,and what they mean.I will give you 5 minutes to talk with your partner to make a dialogue.
