Significance of Learning Non-Verbal Communication
Proceedings of INTCESS2018- 5th International Conference on Education and Social Sciences 5-7 February 2018- Istanbul, Turkey SIGNIFICANCE OF LEARNING NON-VERBAL COMMUNICATION Shuchi* Assist. Prof. Dr., National Institute of Technology Mizoram, India, [email protected] Abstract In this paper, an attempt has been made to analyze the importance of learning non-verbal communication for the students. Wordless communication depends upon decoding the sign language in the desired manner. Verbal communication becomes dull if the speaker has a listless face and awkward body language which makes the conversation boring and bizarre. Sometimes speakers’ lackadaisical face creates confusion in judging his/her mood. This problem has been identified in the classroom among the students when they are unable to give the suitable or desired expressions. To perform this research, data have been collected from 100 students by using questionnaire method about the importance of learning non-verbal communication for them. It incorporates kinesics, proxemics, paralanguage, haptics, and chronemics. It is suggested that these cues should be used with great care in conversation. As improper use of sign language may spoil the originality and essence of the message and will create a barrier in getting a positive feedback from the receiver. The study revealed that students were unaware about the proper use of non-verbal cues, as a result, they were unable to present themselves properly during their academic presentation and job interview. Thus the findings reveal the importance of non-verbal communication and stressed upon the inclusion of its study as a requirement of present scenario. Keywords: Non-Verbal Communication (NVC), kinesics, Proxemics, Paralanguage. -

Non-Verbal Language Expressed in Jokowi's Speech
International Journal of English Linguistics; Vol. 5, No. 3; 2015 ISSN 1923-869X E-ISSN 1923-8703 Published by Canadian Center of Science and Education Non-Verbal Language Expressed in Jokowi’s Speech Sondang Manik1 1 English Department, Language and Arts Faculty, HKBP Nommensen University, Medan North Sumatra, Indonesia Correspondence: Sondang Manik, Jl.Sutomo no 4A, Medan 20234, Indonesia. Tel: 62-61-452-2922. E-mail: [email protected] Received: March 17, 2015 Accepted: April 10, 2015 Online Published: May 30, 2015 doi:10.5539/ijel.v5n3p129 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.5539/ijel.v5n3p129 Abstract Non-verbal communication is one of the key aspects of communication. Non-verbal communication can even alter a verbal message through mimics, gestures and facial expressions, particularly when people do not speak the same language. It is important to know and use non-verbal aspects when we communicate with someone or when we deliver our speech in front of people. The data are taken from some of Jokowi’s speeches. This is a qualitative research, from the recorded data. The speech is identified and analyzed and the writer concludes that Jokowi uses non-verbal aspects in his speech. Five kinds of kinesics are used in everyday communication, namely, emblems, illustrators, affect displays, regulators and adaptors. Some of the aspects make him look so nervous, but he can balance it by laughing or grinning to make the speech not monotonous and attract the audience. He speaks mostly slowly which would make the audience easier to understand the speech. Everybody has their own style in delivering their speech, and this is the Jokowi’s style in delivering his speech. -

The Progression of the Field of Kinesics Megan Waiflein Abstract Kinesics, a term coined by anthropologist Ray Birdwhistell, is the study nonverbal communication. Nonverbal communication is primarily conducted through the use of gestures, facial expressions, and body language. These sometimes subtle cues are estimated to convey as much as seventy percent of the context of a conversation. In this thesis, I review the origin of the field of kinesics in anthropology, the development of subfields, its introduction into other various fields of study, and its significance today. Using citation analysis, I show the movement kinesics through various disciplines. This significant field of research has progressed from a research topic centered in anthropology to a subject studied by psychologists, linguists, and professional speakers. An in-depth examination of the available literature shows the major contributions of kinesics scholarship in anthropology and in other fields. -

PUB TYPE Reports Resea:ch/Technical (143) EDRS PRICE MF01/PCO2 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Brain Hemisphere Functions; Cognitive Style; Foreign Countries; *Lateral Dominance; Learning Strategies; *Nonverbal Communication; Nonverbal Learning; Second Language Instruction; *Suggestopedia; Teacher Influence; Teaching Methods ABSTRACT Nonverbal communication in the classroom can produce subtle nonverbal influences, particularly in the affective domain. In Suggestopedia, double-planeness (the role of the environment and the personality of the teacher) is considered an important factor in learning. Suggestopedic teachers are trained to use nonverbal gestures in their presentation of the lesson material and pantomime to suggest the meaning of new words in an unknown language. Positive facial expressions, eye contact, and body movement are used to project self-confidence and competence. Verbal and nonverbal behaviors are harmonized so that students receive the same positive message of support and encouragement on both the conscious and unconscious level. Voice qualities of the teacher and environmental factors are also emphasized in the suggestopedic method. Number of students, seating arrangement, wall colors, physical distrAnce between teacher and student(s), and lightingare all considered. Suggestopedia incorporates the main elements of modern, Western nonverbal communication theory, although there is no evidence that its developer, Georgi Lozanov, was influenced by it at the institute in Sofia, Bulgaria. Areas which have a bearing on Lozanov's Suggestopedia and which are discussed are: paralanguage, kinesics, proxemics, environment, and oculesics. (Contains 28 notes and references.)

Non-Verbal Communication: a Significant Aspect of Proficient Occupation
IOSR Journal Of Humanities And Social Science (IOSR-JHSS) Volume 22, Issue 11, Ver. 6 (November. 2017) PP 69-72 e-ISSN: 2279-0837, p-ISSN: 2279-0845. www.iosrjournals.org Non-verbal Communication: A significant aspect of Proficient Occupation Tarjani Sheth Department of English, Uka Tarsadia University, Gujarat, India Abstract: Nonverbal communication has been a focus of consideration for some time in areas such as corporate performance skills and individual societal skills. However, it has received little consideration, in language teaching as an accompaniment to spoken language, though recent drifts in neuro linguistic programming concerning reflecting and corresponding body language have sieved into current research and practice. Comparatively very few techniques have been proposed for teaching nonverbal communication compared to its importance. This paper discusses components and tips of non-verbal communication and how to improve them. Keywords: Body Language, Kinesics, Nonverbal communication, Nonverbal Techniques ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------- Date of Submission: 04-11-2017 Date of acceptance: 16-11-2017 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I. INTRODUCTION Nonverbal communication is a system consisting of a range of features often used together to aid expression, ranging from gesture and facial expression, through tone of voice and the use of space, to dress and posture. The combination of these features is often a subconscious choice made by native speakers, but for the learner, can be a barrier to natural communication and the cause of misunderstanding. II. WHY IT MATTERS: The way a person listens, looks, moves, and reacts tells the other person whether he cares, if he is being truthful, and how well he is listening. When these nonverbal signals match up with the words being said, they increase trust, clarity, and rapport. -

Creating Micro-Expressions and Nuanced Nonverbal
Interservice/Industry Training, Simulation, and Education Conference (I/ITSEC) 2011 Creating Micro-expressions and Nuanced Nonverbal Communication in Synthetic Cultural Characters and Environments Marjorie Zielke, Ph.D, Frank Dufour, Ph.D Gary Hardee University of Texas at Dallas University of Texas at Dallas Richardson, Texas Richardson, Texas [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] ABSTRACT Understanding how to observe and analyze nonverbal communication of virtual humans in synthetic environments can assist warfighters with determining source credibility, deception detection, behavior observation, process training and other training objectives. The First Person Cultural Trainer (FPCT) is a high-fidelity, game-based simulation that trains cross-cultural decision making and is also a platform for the creation of synthetic characters which display culturally accurate facial and micro-expressions. These facial and micro-expressions serve as a channel for factors such as invariants and affordances within the synthetic environment that also communicate critical nonverbal information. This paper will discuss technical challenges and solutions in creating facial and micro-expressions and environmental invariants and affordances such as those needed in our high-fidelity training projects. The paper will also provide an overview of the state-of-the-art for creating nuanced nonverbal communications from the gaming industry. We conclude with a description of our solution to developing facial and micro-expressions and nuanced nonverbal communication that we feel best suits our needs at this time.

Zielke, Ph.D., is an assistant professor of Arts and Technology at the University of Texas at Dallas and is the principal investigator on First Person Cultural Trainer. -

To these scholars, language and com- munication are not the same. Humans possess a host of nonlinguistic ways to communicate with each other through the use of their hands, arms, face, and personal space. When we combine verbal and nonverbal language, we create an intricate communication system through which humans come to know and understand each other.2 All animals communicate nonlinguistically—that is, nonverbally—through sight, sound, smell, or touch. -
Nonverbal Communication: Race, Gender, Social Class, World View and the Pons Test; Implications for the Therapeutic Dyad
INFORMATION TO USERS This reproduction was made from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. l.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image of the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photographed, a definite method of "sectioning" the material has been followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.
