Research on the Application of Nonverbal Communication in Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language

When it comes to communication, people first think of verbal communication, but in fact, human communication has two aspects: verbal communication and nonverbal communication. Nonverbal communication, literally understood, refers to communicative activities conducted without the use of language. Teaching Chinese as a foreign language is actually a communicative process between teachers and students, and nonverqbal communication inevitably occurs in every teaching stage. This article will analyze and elaborate on the importance of nonverbal communication in teaching Chinese as a foreign language, the application of nonverbal communication in Chinese language classrooms, and the issues that should be noted when using it. The purpose of this article is to explore the application of nonverbal communication in teaching Chinese as a foreign language, in order to closely integrate nonverbal communication with teaching Chinese as a foreign language and make its use more reasonable. I hope to provide some help and reference for teachers of Chinese as a foreign language when engaging in nonverbal communication.
