What are the significance of non-verbal communication in teaching English as second language in the classroom?

We Answered:

Non-verbal communication is almost as important as the spoken one. Language is culture bound and each and every culture has developed it's own distinct set of body language cues. Some non-verbal cues are international such as tapping the side of your head to show crazy, or thumb + index finger to say OK, raising eyebrows to show surprise...but more are not and they are very culturally specific. What is polite in one country may be very rude in another. Non-verbal communication also re-inforces the spoken word, through gestures and movement. So a good ESL teacher will teach non-verbal communication at the same time. Think of the analogy of a person and their shadow.

Why come to the US? Far too many of us here know how luck you Canadians are and are looking to go to YOUR side of the border. I hope you've really thought about this (and perhaps your spouse has a well paying job lined up).
