Kitakyushu JALT:

Looking at Asian EFL Students' Silent Actions

Date: Saturday, October 13th, 2001 Time: 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM

Speaker: Ian Nakamura

Description:
If it is true that a significant amount of our conversations are being transmitted and perceived nonverbally, then teachers need to account for this fact in the way they teach. Understanding Asian EFL students' silent actions should be of particular value to teachers of oral communication classes. One challenge of teaching in this context is silent students. The focus of this guided discussion will be on what teachers can learn by studying students' nonverbal behavior. Ian Nakamura teaches at Hiroshima Kokusai Gakuin University and Okayama University. He is interested in Asian EFL students' nonverbal actions as part of valuable feedback to inform teachers.
