Reflection

What is a non-verbal communication?

Is the non-verbal communication the same in all languages/cultures?

Yes

No

Why is it important to familiarize ourselves with this type of communication when learning a language?

Definition

"Non-verbal communication includes facial expressions, the tone and pitch of the voice, gestures displayed through body language (kinesics) and the physical distance between the communicators (proxemics)".
