How does gesture and mime affect what we do in the classroom?

[42Surayuth069]

I am inclined to believe that we, as teachers, can use gesture and mime:
    - to convey the meaning of language;
    - to manage the class;
    - to add visual interest;
    - to increase pace;
    - to cut down on the amount of verbal explanation.

Well, as you have mentioned above, I could not agree more.
As teachers, we use gesture and mime to help manage a classroom.
Mostly, I think gesture can help us to teach students about vocabulary and to explain things or directions of any activities.
Anyway, we may use gesture and mime to make classroom activities look more playful and joyful.

Mime and gesture can help run the class smoothly when teaching.
Moreover, it is concerned as natural response of human beings when talking.
Students can communicate by body language when they need to converse something they do not know how to say in the target language.

I absolutely agree with your point of view.
Using mime and gesture can benefit both teachers and students.
Students can guess the meaning of the vocabulary easier when the use of mime and gesture is introduced by teachers. Likewise, when teacher is teaching English for EFL kids, It is hard to explain using words.
So, The use of this kind of language can be the effective way for teaching kids.

To point out the answer, I determine the benefits of using gestures and mime in the class as following:
- to grab attention from students,
- to illustrate and simplify the hard words, phrases or sentences to students,
- to control the classroom while you are teaching,
- to save more time,
- to improve language learning behavior.

Wow I love you this topic much. this topic give me useful of how to teach the students in the classroom. That is very important to show the meaning full of the sentence has all the vocabulary list. so if I don't understand the meaning or definition of the vocabulary. so we can show them vocabulary to give all the clues to students to guess what the meaning of this word.
