HOW DO YOU ILLUSTRATE NON-VERBAL COMMUNICATION?

​

Verbal communication - the use of words or speech in exchanging information with others, which involves sending messages and transmitting feelings or ideas. ​

​Nonverbal communication - a type of communication that involves expressing ideas in ways that do not involve or go beyond using words. Although not spoken, nonverbal cues such as body language, facial expressions, and movements greatly affect the meaning and the understanding of a speaker’s message.

1. Proxemics – the distance between the speaker and the listener or receiver of the message. Public distance, which is from 12 to 25 feet, is used in public speaking. 

   ​

2. Kinesics – the use of body language when communicating. Gestures, eye contact, movements, and facial expressions are considered as kinesics. 

Types of Nonverbal Communication​

​3.Chronemics – the role of time in the communication process. In public speaking, there is often a prescribed period of time at which the speaker is allowed to talk. 

​

4. Paralanguage – the speed, volume, and tone of the speaker’s voice. Sighing, gasping, and clearing one’s throat are also considered paralanguage. 

​5.Haptics – the use of touch in order to convey meaning while communicating with someone. In public speaking, there is often no opportunity for the speaker to use haptics because of the distance between him and the audience. 

​Guide Questions:

1. Was the speaker able to make use of verbal and nonverbal communication?

2. What did you notice about the distance between the speaker and his audience?

3. What can you say about the body language used by the speaker?

4. Was the speech too long or too short?

5. Can you describe the speed, volume, and tone of the speaker’s voice?
