Nonverbal Communication, Cultural Variation, Teacher's nonverbal communicationAbstract
The ability to communicate between teachers and their students is the most crucial skill in teaching. That happens because the majority of activities in the class involve both verbal and nonverbal communication. Nonverbal communication improves the bond between a teacher and a student while also making nonverbal communication appear more natural and acceptable to the audience. Teacher nonverbal communication might be influenced by several factors, such as our cultural background. Hence, the current study is aimed to present the role of teacher nonverbal communication in cultural variation during the teaching process. This research widely explains the roles of cultural variation of teacher in nonverbal communication focusing on (1) What is a cultural variation? (2) What is a nonverbal communication and what are the possible challenges? (3) How cultural communication influences teacher nonverbal communication in the teaching process?
