STUDENTS’ SPONTANEOUS SMILE IN EFL CLASSROOMKeywords: Linguistica Aplicada , Letras , Língua Estrangeira. Abstract: This article discusses the importance of the students’ spontaneous smile in EFL classroom interaction, and its implication to their oral production. Findings proved that the students’ spontaneous smile served as a fundamental interactive nonverbal sign for it not only favors a closer relation among students, but also helps them in the co-construction of oral activities in group works. In sum, the students’ spontaneous smile appeared to be a nonverbal indicative of proximity and of increasing oral interaction among them.
