Body Language = Two 52-Card Decks + 28-Page Activity & Idea Book
Body language means postures, movement, gestures, and facial expressions involved in the effective non-verbal—and eventually, verbal—expression of meaning, emotions, and attitudes. Some body-language signals are universal; others are cultural. In language instruction, nonverbal communication deserves observation, discussion, and practice. These materials supply all that and more.
The 104 photo-and-word examples in Card Decks A-M and N-Z, along with any self-made, personalized visuals teachers/tutors/helpers/students might add—work well in competitive games as well as cooperative and individual learning activities. In alphabetical order, their content includes Anger, Boredom, Craziness, Danger/Drama, Embarrassment, Fun/Joking, Greetings (International), Hello, Impatience, Joy/Congratulations, Kids (Gestures for), Listening/Loudness, Money; Negative (No), Offensiveness, Praise (Self), Questioning, Religion/Respect, Surprise/Shock, Threat, Unhappiness, Victory/Winning, Worry, Kissing, Yes! Zzzz = Sleepiness. Other possible emotions and feelings are "covered" in reproducible line-art illustrations.
The Cards and related lesson, activity, and game ideas are designed to teach identification, categorizing, comparison, and other useful language skills, including critical thinking. They are ideal for use in learning groups and large classrooms--as well as for individual self-teaching purposes. They are "multi-leveled" and "multi-purpose" in that they can be used successfully by participants at pre-literate through high-intermediate levels of proficiency, by non-native or native speakers of English, within and/or separate from oral-language skills and cultural content "units of study."
The accompanying 28-page Activity & Idea Book offers reproducibles useful for preparation, follow-up, and review. Its topics include Universal Expressions of Emotion; Relationship Postures; Categorizing, Identifying, and Comparing Non-Verbal Expressions and Movements; Positive, Negative, or Neutral? Quick Non-Verbal Communication; the Language of Body Language; and Using the Non-Verbal Image Cards Decks A-Z to Express Anger, Boredom, Craziness, Drama/Danger, Embarrassment, Fun/Joking, Greetings, Hello, Impatience, Joy, etc. Many of the suggestions include verbal activities and follow-up.
