Effectiveness of a Programme to Develop Nonverbal Communication Skills. Theoretical + Practical Sessions for Teachers who Really Want to Make Difference in their Classrooms

      Аннотация: Teaching implies touching the life forever. When we really ‘teach’ with the heart and mind applying proper strategies, leaning takes place rapidly and enthusiastically. THE BASIC DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE GOOD TEACHER AND THE PRO-ACTIVE TEACHER IS THE DEGREE TO WHICH HE/SHE IS READY TO CHANGE THE SELF. While dealing with the learners in the classroom, the teacher needs to carry a professional image with high-touch care. Many a time it is not enough have good feelings towards someone; we need to ‘show’ our good intentions to others. That’s where the communication skill is required. Words are not enough to express our thoughts fully, so we need a separate channel which can help us to communicate better. Nonverbal communication fulfils this gap. Mastery over the nonverbal expressions is the assurance of success in any field. Polished personality with appropriate nonverbal cues is not only desirable but also inevitable in our society – especially in the field of teaching. The present work is an endeavour to ignite this consciousness.
