I asked question to the respondents what kind of role of nonverbal behaviors play in verbal communication. Responding to my question Kalpana said, “When there is use of nonverbal behaviors, we feel that teacher is giving importance to us, and there is use of hands or body that makes communication meaningful.” Similarly, Ramesh expressed, “Nonverbal behaviors play important role in verbal communication. Without concentration no one can speak, so nonverbal behaviors play important role for facial expression during verbal communication. Thus, it can be said that nonverbal behaviors are very supportive and significant for verbal communication.
From the above responses of both the teacher and student participants, it is inferred that nonverbal

In the absence of awareness students cannot learn and develop language. Unless students are aware we cannot create learning environment. It applies in learning of all subjects. As we know that English is a foreign language so it is not easy to learn like native language so there is need of good effort for learners in which awareness plays dominant role. From the observation of Yogesh and Narayan, I found that students were aware of learning while teacher was using nonverbal behaviors. When teacher looked at the students they paid attention on learning and exposed they were reading. Likewise, when teachers exhibited nonverbal behaviors such as facial expression, gesture and paralanguage the students got awareness for learning. In the interview, I asked the respondents if nonverbal behaviors raise awareness for learning English. In response to the question Deepa said, “When teacher is angry we are aware on the subject matter and if teacher is happy we feel comfortable.” Similarly, Kalpana said, “If we do not pay attention s/he speaks in high tone and we have concentration on out of subject matter at that time eye contact plays vital role to make aware on
The first activity is interactive to create a basic awareness of the nonverbal concept of touch. The students will be paired up in two and sit facing each other, although their eyes will be closed. The teacher will instruct the students to hold their hands up in front of them, and to touch flatly their partner’s hand. Keeping in mind their eyes are to remain closed and are supposed to use their hands to communicate throughout this entire activity, the teacher should instruct the students to say “hello” to their partner’s hands. Then instruct the students to have an argument, and afterwards have the pairs make up and say sorry.
This theory was made by Michael Argyle (1925- 2002), who was a social psychologist. In the late 1960s he studied social skills, body language, non-verbal communication and interpersonal behaviour. In this study, he found that non-verbal signals can be much more important and useful than verbal communication when trying to trigger peoples’ attitudes and feelings. His research showed and found that the stronger the relationship between the people communicating so with close friends for example the much better eye contact. However, when the relationship is not very strong so when speaking to a stranger people don’t have very good eye contact and they tend to look away when talking.
Michael Argyle (1972) said that non-verbal and verbal communication is a skill that can be learnt and developed. In the communication cycle the appropriate responses must be adapted to communicate successfully. Each person
There are different types of nonverbal communication. Body movements is a different type of nonverbal communication. Body movements are the most noticeable elements of nonverbal communication. Body Movement consists of posture, gestures, face and eyes. A posture can say a lot of a person.
A lot of authors provide nonverbal communication in their books to develop the plot and the characters. Ernest Gaines does this particularly well in his book A Lesson Before Dying. Most of the nonverbal communication in this book focuses on the eyes of the people interacting with and around the narrator, Grant Wiggins. Gaines' use of nonverbal communication both enhances the plot and develops the characters in a way that is realistic, effective and easy to read.
While I was observing the students in the Mr. Kastles classroom, I noticed that some of the girls were playing with their hair, messing with their nails or biting their nails. Some of the students were putting their hands on their head and face; crossing their legs, playing with the pages of the book or playing with their pencils. There were a few students that had their eyes closed and rubbing them. Most of the students were doing the same thing. But very few were different.
Frank (669) mention that nonverbal communication aka body language is using the combination of gestures and body movement, of human being in particular, to communicate with others. We as humankind use this “language” as a way to communicate and express our emotions. With that being said, we can clearly see the connection between choreography and/or dancing and nonverbal communication because of its basic essence in combination between facial expression and the movement of body. For example, if a performance missing facial expression, it would not be consider as a success performance and the performer would be considered as amateur even since it does not clearly express to the audience how the main characters feels and what obstacle that he/she encounters. This will create a massive decrease in the interest of the audience as well as the real structure and meaning behind that
Nonverbal communication mainly focuses on the way of expressing the thought that arise in an individual 's mind so that the sender receives the correct information. nonverbal communication “involves those nonverbal stimuli in a communication setting that are generated by both the source speaker and his or her use of the environment and that have potential message value for the source or receive Here we have a topic which distinguishes the nonverbal communication based on gender and give immense knowledge how a men and women will communicate nonverbally when both has a totally different view about the topic they are going to talk. When we say gender communication, it doesn 't mean anything related to the relationship between the men and
Many of us associate facial expression and gestures with nonverbal communication, but these are not the only two types involved. There are, in fact, eight different types of nonverbal communication: • Facial Expression This makes up the largest proportion of nonverbal communication. Large amounts of information can be conveyed through
Showing attentive body language such as facial expressions and gestures are just as important. Effective communication creates a positive atmosphere for learning, ensuring the pupil

It is also known as nonverbal communication. This type of communication includes no words but gesture, body language, eye contact, posture or facial expressions. When we interact with others, we continuously exchange wordless signals. A considerable part of nonverbal communication is facial expressions as these indicate others about our feeling, attitudes, states of mind and relationships. Facial expression also plays a major role in communication since the expression on our face say a lot about our mood.
In fact psychologist Albert Mehrabian stated in 1972 that 93% of a message is non-verbal and that only 7% is verbal communication, (Alder 177). This is one of the more extreme standpoints by psychologists; however, it does explain the role of non-verbal communication and its importance. “Some theorists argue that it is impossible not to communicate,” suggesting that we are constantly sending and receiving messages (Alder
, this showcases the great importance of understanding this topic in order to have a clear communication process, since these can distort the meaning of the message. Although non-verbal expressions are present in every culture, their individual meanings and relevance are going to change from one to another, this is why it is important to not only recognize the overall value of this topic, but to study the different patterns of nonverbal communication from different cultures as well. Since we are studying to become international negotiators we have to be prepared to work in a multicultural environment, since it is very likely we will be working with people from other parts of the world. Understanding how others communicate and how we do it too and not to take everything at face value is primordial for us, since this will help us to minimize
Non-verbal communication is just as important as verbal communication. When you are communicating with someone it is important to pay attention to the facial feedback they give. The topic could be
