THE IMPORTANCE OF NONVERBAL MESSAGES IN INTERCULTURAL CLASSROOM

This paper discusses the importance of non-verbal communication in the intercultural classroom. Communication involves the presentation of ideas and feelings to others. People communicate because they want to influence the understanding of others, the attitude and the actions of others whether they agree or not on the issue. In addition, communication is also a two-way process in which both parties must respond to any information that is communicated. Without realizing it, non-verbal communication is complementary to verbal communication. This non-verbal communication is an important message form as it can interpret the emotion, personality, purpose and social status of a person.
