Introduction

Non-verbal communication plays an important role in second language communicative competence, yet little attention has been given to practical teaching techniques that will help English language teachers incorporate this essential element into their classrooms. It considers the interplay of body language, particularly gesture, facial expression and gaze behavior, among interlocutors and gives special consideration to the second language learner and the obstacles that can be encountered in communicating cross culturally. Subsequently, specific activities that bring the visual and auditory channels together through video, drama and role play, and interviews are shared with the purpose of stimulating teachers’ creativity in producing their own classroom activities to raise students’ awareness of how to encode and decode the visual as well as auditory cues in communicative exchanges.
