Non Verbal Communication Theory - So What

“….when analysing transactions, one must look beyond what is being said.” (Berne, 2014).

As teachers we need to use theories to recognise the NVC we are projecting to our delegates;

Body Language - Kinesics

“The basic rule of body language is that if you do not look interested, then your audience will not be interested either.” pg. 123 Melrose, W. (1995) Communication 2^nd ed. Pitman Publishing.

This includes facial expressions, gestures, eye contact and posture as well as how you look, listen and move. 

Use of Space - Proxemics 

".....frequently moving around the classroom in a confident manner are characteristics of an effective teacher...." pg. 140 Avis, R et al. (2010) Teaching in Lifelong Learning Open University Press.

Touch - Haptics 

"Why do people confide in their hairdresser, beautician, doctor, driving instructor? Answer: because the barrier of proximity / touch is reduced or removed." pg.431Wilson,L. (2014) Practical Teaching A Guide to Teaching in the Education and Training Sector Cengage Learning EMEA.
