- Abstract
In-class communication mostly occurs non-verbally by means of "body language". During a classroom lesson, we can observe an increase of "non-verbal" signals of abstract terms rather than concrete terms even when the content of the lesson is verbal to a great extent. Here in this work, the following points will be dealt with regarding their consequences on the lesson: the way the teacher "looks" at the students, the teacher's posture in the classroom, his "procsemic"-behavior in the closed area, his gestures and mimics, his confidence in himself, and his style of speaking. Reference will be made to the importance parts of the program "Body Language Education for the Teachers" written by Heidemann.* An answer will be sought to the question whether "body language" can possibly be taught considering the fact that body language actually depends on personal charateristics. Since the teachers and students mutually communicate with each other and influence each other, the teachers have to learn to become aware of the effects of their body language on the students and at the same time they should learn to analyze their students' body language in the right way. It must not be forgotten that the teachers have great influence children especially on the primary school children who are going through the process of their personality development and who look up to their teachers as a role-model. Just try to recall memories of your own primary school teacher who always has had a great place in your life in order to understand the impact of the primary school teachers have on the children in general.
