Guiding workshops
Pereslavl - Zalesskiy, 29 March – 1 April, 2007.
Trainer – Ekaterina Klimova.
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.
