English teaching serves the verbal communication. The instructional information and knowledge are not only conveyed by the verbal language, but also by the nonverbal language in the English teaching especially at primary school. However, most teachers, who think the words are the sole way to convey the message, only attach importance to the verbal communication and ignore the nonverbal communication. In primary English teaching, nonverbal communication, which is usually used to convey message with many ways by the English teachers, has a great influence on the English teaching. According to Cooper’s viewpoint, the writer discusses the techniques of the nonverbal communication in primary English teaching from six categories, which are effective in the process of primary English teaching. They are respectively self-presentation, identification of rules and expectations, feedback and reinforcement, liking and affection, regulation of conversational flow and classroom control. From the discussion of these six categories, we can see that it’s necessary and important to use the nonverbal communication in primary English teaching.
