NON-VERBAL LANGUAGE IN THE INTERCULTURAL COMMUNICATION
Abstract
In the modern process of learning languages attention is paid to the development of communicative abilities. Tat is why while working in the classroom it is not enough to just improve phonetic and grammar skills or to learn new words, it is also important to study socio-cultural identity of the representatives of other cultures, their habits, beliefs and values. Our work focuses on discovering and analyzing some elements of nonverbal behavior of the speakers that show cultural differences of various linguistic communities and the correct interpretation of which requires additional extra-linguistic knowledge. As an example we will examine similarities and differences in verbal and non-verbal behavior of Russians, Spaniards and Latin Americans. Correct combination of verbal and non-verbal languages will help to avoid “shock” and failures while contacting with individuals from different cultures and will guarantee an efcient intercultural communication.
