20TRA580 Communication in the Classroom - The Power of Nonverbal Communication

 

 

 

 

Communication is at the centre of all teachers’ work. This seminar will examine teacher nonverbal communication in the classroom – your ‘X Factor’! In so doing, it will discuss the various components of nonverbal communication (e.g. eye contact, gesture, vocal intonation) and their value for pupil learning (to include embodied cognition). The seminar will examine how classroom nonverbal communication is relevant to motivation, differentiation, classroom management and differentiation. It will also provide some brief pointers on active listening.
