The Use of Body Language in Classroom Communication

Abstract

Body language is an essential part of non-verbal communication in classroom settings. It includes gestures, facial expressions, posture, and eye contact, which help reinforce verbal instruction, manage the classroom, and support learning. In Uzbekistan, cultural norms influence how body language is used and interpreted in education. The article examines the role of body language in classroom communication, illustrates its impact on teaching effectiveness and student engagement, and discusses culturally specific examples from Uzbek educational contexts. The study argues that understanding and using body language appropriately increases student comprehension, respect, and participation.
