中文摘要:体态语是运用手势、身势、面部表情、目光和空间距离来进行交流的一种语言。它具有形象性、直观性等特点，在英语教学，尤其是小学英语教学中起着非常重要的作用。

本文采用理论研究的方法，从小学生的心理、生理特征等方面开展研究，结合小学英语教学目标和新课程标准来分析体态语在小学英语教学中的应用及其重要性。研究发现，正确的体态语不仅能够提高教师的教学效果、达到小学英语教学目的，还能激发学生对英语的学习兴趣、提高学习效率，并对改善师生关系，营造轻松愉悦的课堂氛围有着较大的帮助。但是，消极错误的体态语则会起到相反的效果。因此，教师应该掌握体态语的使用原则，不仅要正确使用体态语，还要了解学生的体态语，读懂其中蕴含的信息，以此来调整改进自己的教学。
