In most cases in intercultural interaction, people focus on verbal cues while neglecting those nonverbal messages produced by the bodies and the environment. Such neglect often results in misunderstandings and conflicts because nonverbal communication reveals basic cultural traits from which people are able to gather clues about underlying attitudes and values. So the study of nonverbal communication is an important component to the study of intercultural communication. It deserves due attention in foreign language acquisition. Grounded on the model of cultural learning put forward by Hanvey, the study puts forward a set of feasible suggestions on how to improve intercultural nonverbal communication competence of college non-English majors.展开更多

Based on the current language skill learning situations and the relevant literature review, this paper firstly forms a hypothesis, introducing self-assessment into the traditional classroom to promote learner freedom, and then does an empirical study to prove that self-assessment can be mastered as a learning skill to enhance students' learning efficiency.展开更多
