La communication non verbale et l’enseignement des langues
(Wydawcnictwo Naukowe UAM, 1993) LELENTAL, Elżbieta
The recent studies in the field of communication must be considered in a broad multidisciplinary context Communication is now considered as a complex system of interdependent codes. During a face-to-face act of communication each party sends and receives an overall and heterogeneous statement which is a total of several elements. The study of the language sounds and of the visual stimuli to be found in the audio-visual methodology demontrates that comparatively little attention is paid to the non-verbal factors. Changes in language teaching can only be understood in the context of transformation within its methodological foundations. This implies a new definition of commornication as a psycho-social discipline.
