Critical Reflection on a Specific Teaching Context——Explicit Instruction of Non-Verbal Communication
Abstract
Non-verbal communication has played a vital role in English learning and teaching. The essay includes both-sides debates, complicated issues in different cultures and countries and constructive recommendations related to the specific learning and teaching contexts. Although non-verbal communication has some problems to apply, there are still more constructive recommendations to benefit language learning greatly in the future.References
