Abstract English is a difficult course for most primary schools in China. As a second language, students are unable to have a full-English environment as their native language. So, as English teachers, we must deal with every student's problems patiently in the process of teaching. For example, we can use eye-contact to suggest students’ errors and praise their progresses. Teacher’s eye contact is characterized as authenticity, abundance and implication. To some degree, eye contact is an ideological and emotional bridge that helps teachers and students communicate with each other. Therefore, as a work of art, eye contact is a necessary skill that every teacher has to learn well. Not only does eye contacts can express affections, assist teaching, improve relationship between teachers and students, but also it can adjust their behaviors, offer feedback of teaching information and increase the efficiency.71704

摘 要英语对小学生来说是非常难的一门课程，这是他们接触的第二种语言，而且这种语言对于大多数的小学生来说没有相应的语言环境，不能够像学习中文一样顺利。我们在教学的过程中要耐心地处理每一个学生的问题，用眼神来暗示他们的错误并对他们的进步表示认可。教师的眼神又具有独特的真实性、丰富性、暗示性的特点。从某种程度上说，眼神是师生进行思想情感交流的桥梁。因此，教师在英语教育教学过程中要学会巧妙地运用眼神艺术，和学生进行眼神交流。这样不仅可以表达情意、辅助教学、融洽师生关系，还可以调控学生的行为，反馈教学信息，提高教学的有效性。

The Functions of Eye Contact in Primary English Teaching

Chapter 1 Introduction

    During the process of primary English teaching, teachers mainly impart contents of courses with verbal instructions. However, non-verbal information plays an unexpected role in teaching, especially the easily-neglected eye contact. Since eyes are the window of the mind, and it constitutes one of the most effective ways to express one’s inner feelings. As the soul of eyes, a light (it means the expression in one’s eyes) is not only the carrier of information, but also the important intermediary of the communication between teachers and students and the most crucial non-verbal approach to communication.论文网
