State all objectives and instructions clearly and where possible in positive
ways. Check for understanding.
Use a tone of voice that does not alienate students.
Be careful not to talk for too long at a stretch.
Speak respectfully to students. Establish clear routines for who is
allowed to talk, and when. Ask students to feed back to you,informally and respectfully, how you
come across when you talk.
1. Facial Expression
Smile -Shows that the teacher: enjoying being with the
students they are relaxed they are confident Open, receptive face - eyes
open noticeably wider than usual, lips slightly apart.
expecting that an answer will be forthcoming
2. Eye Contact
scan the room continuously. extended stare students appreciate being looked at
when they have something important to say
avoid the temptation to 'roll your eyes' if you disapprove or are frustrated by specific students’ behaviour
3. Gestures
remind students of specific routines -for example, to look at whiteboard or screen, to listen carefully, not to 'rock' on the chair etc.
4. Posture stand 'centre stage' when you want
everyone's attention, especially at the start of a lesson - this is a powerful signal that it's your show and you're ready to start
your body language shows you take the classroom business seriously
for example, make sure students can see as well as hear you, you don't slouch in your chair at your desk and try to deliver your lecture
you look alert and interested. move around the room frequently - this tells
your students you own all the classroom space - but it also aids teacher student communication because it includes all students and your shifting proximity keeps them focused.
you look relaxed, confident, 'calm and assertive'
5. Voice and vocalizations
Voice Breathing control exercises might also
help - often just pausing for a second or two to gather your breath and your thoughts helps establish the right tone of voice.
Vocalizations little, sometimes unconscious,
characteristics we use when communicating.
can include giggling, sighing, a nervous cough, repeated use of phrases such as, 'You know..' 'I mean..', and it might even include yawning.
