5.2.5How to judge the degree of thinking
Whether the teacher’s information can stimulate the students to think is a very important premise to ensure an effective communication. Therefore, the teacher should keep observing the students’ response. Supporting the face with hands is a typical posture to show people’s meditation, interest and attention. When you talk with the student, he supports his head with one or both hands, leans forward, and sometimes even blinks his eyes slightly. It means he is interested in what you say and accepts your idea. But sometimes the student may put one hand on the face, it means he holds opposite attitude to your view. Head leaning to one side and fingers grasping the chin after listening a while with respective attitude, means “I can take it into consideration.” Many good students often adopt this posture when making a decision. Provided that the student sucks the thumb, tears nails, or rotates the pen or pencil when thinking, it indicates he is in an anxious conflict and needs to be supported and encouraged. So if the teacher acts correctly, he can make quick decisions.
5.2.6How to see through the lie of students
Sometimes the students don’t like to tell the truth, which becomes a barrier in mutual communication. If a teacher wants to know the real thought of the students, he can always get the right information by tracing down students’ body language.
Some behaviors are characteristic of individuals when they are lying:
More speech errors.
Less smiling or more fake smiling.
More speech hesitations.
Shorter answers, often reply in “yes” or “no”.
Vague answers with less specific or concrete information.
It is essential for a teacher to have an overall understanding of a student, which is an effective way to break the lie. When facing the parents, the child feels difficult to lie successfully. As soon as the child was born, the child began to communicate with the parents. The parents know every expression in their child’s eyes, a subtle action, even the way of going up and down the stairs. Undoubtedly, parents are the very persons who know their children. Unlike the parents, the teacher cannot know every side of the students. But it does not mean it is impossible for the teachers to see through the students’ lie. If the teacher gives a careful observation of the students, it’s not so difficult to find their secret.
Firstly, when a student is telling a lie, the teacher can observe many subtle movements of the students, such as touching lips, nose and eyelids. Although some persons also act like that when thinking or out of the individual habit, these actions are different, with the aim to conceal the real signal possibly revealed by the mouth and eyes. However, as the child grows up, he will slightly modify them on purpose, so these hand movements would be transformed into touching mouth, nose, ears and eyes with fingertips. Secondly, when a student is telling a lie, usually he cannot speak in a fluent way, but stumbles with some special physical symptoms. When a teacher meets such situation, he should carefully identify the student’s body language and take some proper measures.
