Abstract
The most important thing in communication is to understand what isn't being said. Good communication skill is not only speaking effectively but also hearing and watching the message conveyed by the physic of the speaker. Many researchers concentrate on communication and traditionally emphasized the study of language and verbal messages; however, scholars today are showing more interest to do research on nonverbal communication. The nonverbal communication emerges to complement language, expanding the efficiency and effectiveness of human communication. Moreover, the communication styles and the level of expression of communication are purely dependent on nonverbal communication. Words just talk about the message but the meaning and the expression are delivered by the nonverbal communication of a person who sends/passes the message. Hence the effectiveness of the communication depends on excellent knowledge of nonverbal communication. The major role of the language teacher in the classroom is to initiate the students to learn the process of language acquisition. Hence the English teacher who teach the foreign language has to be the best communicator with teaching technologies. The teacher is not only teaching through verbal messages but also use the body language to teach the words and expressions of the English language. The significant task of the teacher is to teach the English language through language itself. In addition to that teacher has to train the students to learn all the skills of communication like Listening, Speaking, Reading, Writing. This research article depicts the correlation between communication theories and nonverbal communication in language teaching.
