As much as body language can be diverse, it can be very effective as well. From smiles, frowns and head shaking, there is always constant interaction between the teachers and students. The students’ body language can tell you how receptive they are to your class discussion, if the class is in danger, or even if one student is having a bad day. They can tell you all of this without saying a word.

The students’ facial expressions will reveal a variety of emotions and thoughts, from anger to interest to happiness. As you make eye contact, observe if your students’ eyes are

dull and unfocused, Are they focused at a point on the floor, ceiling, or wall? If so, the student is likely not paying attention. Similarly, if a student appears alert and keeps their eyes on you as you move around the room, you can be assured that they are paying attention.

As you move around the class, also notice the sitting position of the students. When students slouch, they are usually bored and may be feeling sleepy.

Body language is quite diverse and cannot be overemphasized during teaching. Hence, teachers should be very vigilant while teaching so they can ensure learning is really effective.

They use the body language to thier advantage in many different ways depending on the lecturer/teacher/trainers style, and the type of thier audiences.

The main advantage is determining if the audience (e.g. students at class room) start feel boring. Then the lecturer or teacher, for example, should notice that & take the advantage of the time by adding something intersiting to the class, examples: discutions, challenging question, or even a story, then the class mode will change to interact wth the lecturer or teacher.

Other advantage is knowing the audience needs, if they need rest, more informations, ask questions, further explanations,..etc.

taking the advantage of usng & knowing the body language make the life easier to every presenter to give a powerfull & interesting presentation or class sence they take care of the main element "the Audiences".

At the end, knowing the body laanguage make the presentation clear & being smart of using it make the presentation greater.

Body language is a key part of teaching. Postures and expressions that are welcoming, reassuring, comforting help students to feel comfortable and the classroom or training environment should always feel like a safe place. When students feel safe they are more likely to ask and answer questions without fear of making errors. We learn through experience and getting students to engage is the best way to assist in their learning.

Lecturers/Trainer/teachers use body languages for communication and deliver the lesson or message in the best way. They usually use hand movement, face expression, movement in class room and judge the body language of students or trainees for their best communication and understanding.

Infact body language is the most important gestures in any kind of training but it depends on what we're delivering to the students/participants, whether the trainees really want to learn something or not! Mostly, people come for the sake of enjoyment because they are totally fed up with their work and they also want something where they can spend time and enjoy so your gesture and body language are the most important things to ensure that you are fully delivering your skills and knowledge among them.

We can use body language by 55% and by handling this language by learning it and practice. Also, we can listen to the famous lecturers/teachers/trainers and we concentrate on their manners and behaviors. Finally, I think the talent plays a key role to master this language
