This practical workshop will look at body language, status, and teaching style. What is the difference between high-status body language and low-status? How does the way that you behave as a teacher affect your relationship with your class? Are you a friendly teacher, or a more authoritarian teacher? What can teachers learn from observing professional entertainers? Come and find out.
