Mimics and gestures in guiding I

By the end of the workshop we are going to find the answer

the following question:

• What mimics and gestures can we use in guiding?

Step 1. Warming-up

Complete this questionnaire individually.

You have to speak in English to a group of strangers. Would you…

	Yes	No
- be frightened?
- become self- conscious?
- forget what you wanted to say?
- be afraid of making mistakes?
- lack self- confidence?

Let’s discuss your answers.

You may begin like that: I would be………., because……..…

Make the conclusion: It is not easy to be a public speaker.

Step 2.

Fear of public speaking is perfectly normal and affects most people. But you should be self- confident and create a good impression.

There are some rules how to create a good impression.

When you are talking to the group of tourist you should be SOFTEN:

S = Smile

O = point to the Object you are talking about

F = be Friendly

T = Try to show your best (show your professionalism as a guide)

E = make Eye contact with the people you are talking to

N = Never dispute

Step 3. Your mimics and gestures will help you to create a good impression.

There are some types of gestures in guiding:

• Pointing (when you point to the object)

• Reconstructing (when you talk about the construction of the building, architecture)

• Incentive (when you suggest going on the excursion)

Fill in the table with the words:

too energetic round conservative mild sharp divertive coinciding with the rate of moving continual temperate

Gestures should be	Gestures should not be
round	too energetic
conservative	sharp
mild	divertive
coinciding with the rate of moving	continual
temperate

Also there are gestures which do not have any meaning. In guiding we can call them “gestures- parasites”. They can make an awful impression

Our professional success depends on the attention of the tourists. We should attract this attention in different ways. There are three things, which show us the skill of the guide: language, mimics and gestures, and the contact with the group of tourist.

Mimic is also very important.

• You should make the Eye contact with the tourists.

• You should smile and be friendly

• You shouldn’t show your real emotions in unpleasant situations.

Step 4. Let’s watch the film about Yaroslavl. Pay your attention to the guides’ work. Did you like their ways of being a guide?

What was perfect in the guides’ behaviour?

__________Man___________________________________Woman_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

What mistakes did you notice?

_ _________Man___________________________________Woman_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Let’s discuss your answers. Why did the mistakes arise?

Control your emotions, mimics and gestures!!!

The EYES. Use your eyes to make an emphasis. Make Eye contact with the people you are talking to.

The HANDS and ARMS. The hands are the most important tool you have to make gestures in public speaking. Making gestures with your arms will add a visual representation for your audience .

Let’s discuss the information.

STEP V. Types of gestures in guiding.

Listen to the information and try to answer When do we use each type of gesture?

There are some types of gestures in guiding:

• Pointing ________________________________________(when you point to the object)

• Reconstructing _____________________________________________(when you talk about the construction of the building, architecture)

• Incentive ______________________________________________(when you suggest going on the excursion)

STEP VI. Remember! Your gestures must be round, conservative, mild, temperate, coinciding with the rate of moving. All your gestures must be deliberate and slow enough for the audience to know what you are gesturing. Movements may be slow and gentle, slow and intense, swift and light, or swift and strong. The size, length and velocity of a gesture depend upon the what you need to emphasize on.

STEP VII. 1.Work in a group and prepare a small part of the guide’s presentation.

Group 1: St. Elias the Prophet’s Church.

Group 2: The Church of the Nativity of Christ.

2.Act out the situation of presentation of the point. One of you will be a guide, all the others will be the audience.

Group 1	Group 2

What mistakes did you notice?

Group 1	Group 2

Let’s discuss your answers.

STEP VIII. Let’s make the conclusion.

Answer the question: What should you do to improve your gesturing skills?

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

You should practice as much as possible to gain more control on your gestures while speaking. With more practice on your gestures, you will make your public speaking presentations more powerful and captivating. It’s better to use mirror, while you are practicing. Practice all the gestures of your public speaking presentation many times before you actually present.

The Volkov Drama Theatre. …So the year 1750 is considered to be the foundation of the theater. Volkov commissioned the construction of the first theater. The court learned about Volkov and his theater and invited him to St. Petersburg. When Catherine II came to power Volkov wrote a libretto of a great street performance dedicated to her. He took part in it, caught cold and rather soon he died.

На наш взгляд, данные предложения практического характера актуальны и поэтому могут быть использованы в работе учителя иностранного языка.

Их актуальность вижу в том, что:

• Предложенные варианты проведения уроков и внеклассных мероприятий способны вызвать интерес у детей и способны решить задачи обучения английскому языку.

• В них наблюдается тесное взаимодействие процесса обучения с жизнью школьника (отмечают современные праздники, обсуждают проблемы современной молодёжи). Обучение рассматривается как способ познания окружающего, а не как обязательный предмет школьной программы.

• Участие в таких уроках позволяет учащимся пробовать свои силы, узнавать насколько они способны принять правильное решение в различных сложных ситуациях.

• Данные разработки учитывают психологические особенности возраста.

• Такие формы уроков позволяют каждому ребёнку проявить свою индивидуальность, почувствовать свой успех.

• Проведение Н.У. позволяет учителю перейти на личностно- ориентированную модель общения. Учитель выступает в роли речевого партнёра, интересного собеседника.

• Оценка на таких уроках выставляется не за конкретные ответы, а за активность ребёнка, за его знания и умения, продемонстрированные в процессе всего занятия. Это поддерживает желание ребёнка заниматься на протяжении всего урока.
