Janak Singh Negi

Abstract

The role of non-verbal behavour in English classroom plays an

important role for teaching content and skills. Based on this

assumption, this article attempts to shed light on this hitherto

unexplored area of research in the Nepalese context based on the

observation by the author at various higher secondary schools in

Nepal. The findings show that teachers' non-verbal behaviors play a

highly important and essential role on learners' motivation in language

classroom.

Key words: non-verbal communication, paralanguage, information
