  2. What is nonverbal communicationThe first study on nonverbal communication (written for non-specialists) belongs to Charles Darwin: In his book, The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals (1872), Darwin argued that all mammals show emotion reliably in their faces. The notion of universality implied that emotional facial configurations served as stable, predictable, and accurate signals.

  3. Nonverbal Communication According to Khan • When full ideas or concepts are expressed without coherent labels. Khan (2001) Khan, A. A. (2001, February 21). Non-Verbal Communication: Fact and Fiction. Retrieved January 08, 2010, from Strange Horizons: http://strangehorizons.com/2001/20010226/nonverbal.shtml

  4. The Overlap of Verbal and Nonverbal Communication A good poet uses words not only for their meaning, i.e. as a means of verbal communication, but also uses words for their sound, for the various rhythms that these sounds can produce, for images that these sounds can evoke in the mind. The form of a poem is as much an integral part of the poem as its substance. Another example where verbal and non-verbal means of communication overlap is the graphic story, the comic book, where words and pictures blend harmoniously to convey information. Khan, A. A. (2001, February 21). Non-Verbal Communication: Fact and Fiction. Retrieved January 08, 2010, from Strange Horizons: http://strangehorizons.com/2001/20010226/nonverbal.shtml, par. 28

  10. Group 2 • Chronemics is the study of the use of time in nonverbalcommunication. • The way we perceive time, structure our time and react to time is a powerful communication tool, and helps set the stage for the communication process. • Across cultures, time perception plays a large role in the nonverbal communication process. • Time perceptions include punctuality, willingness to wait, and interactions. The use of time can affect lifestyles, daily agendas, speed of speech, movements and how long people are willing to listen.

  11. Group 3Fast, J. (1970). Body language: The essential secrets of non-verbal communication (ISBN - 1-56731-004-4). New York: Library of Congress Catalog. • Body language include mutual gaze, smiling, facial warmth or pleasantness, childlike behaviors, direct body orientation, and the like. • The atmosphere in a cooperative learning group – imagination in addition to normal work

  12. Group 4 • A gesture is a non-vocal bodily movement intended to express meaning. • Gestures may be articulated with the hands, arms or body, and also include movements of the head, face and eyes, such as winking, nodding, or rolling ones' eyes. • The boundary between language and gesture, or verbal and nonverbal communication, can be hard to identify.

  13. Group 5 • Nonverbal speech characteristics, such as tone, pitch, volume, inflection, rhythm, and rate are important communication elements. • When we speak, other people “read” our voices in addition to listening to our words. • These nonverbal speech sounds provide subtle but powerful clues into our true feelings and what we really mean. Think about how tone of voice, for example, can indicate sarcasm, anger, affection, or confidence.
