ABSTRACT

Effective language strategies play an essential role in traditional teaching. However, the benefits of nonverbal behavior teaching strategy in the classroom have been underestimated. Facial expressions, gestures, and eye contact are all instantaneous nonverbal behaviors that play a significant part in exchanging information in classroom. This study aims to examine how different nonverbal teaching strategies affect teaching and learning and discover what it is used for and how important they are in education. Finally, some suggestions for improving teachers’ use of nonverbal behaviors from a teacher professional development perspective are presented.
