Non-verbal Communication<\/strong>
\nPresenter:<\/strong> Habiba Akter
\nCommunication is not all about words. A fair amount of nonverbal cues play a vital role in conveying a message effectively. Nonverbal Communication (NVC) is a way of communicating through sending and receiving wordless signals. The meaning of a gesture may vary in different cultural contexts. Hence, a non-native speaker of a language may find it difficult to get accustomed to the patterns and layers of NVC of the target language. In this age of cross-cultural interaction, there must be standard ways of coding and decoding nonverbal cues. This workshop focuses on those in the international context.<\/p>\n
