VERBAL AND NON-VERBAL CUES

I. LEARNING CONTEXT

Communication involves verbal and non-verbal cues. Verbal cues include auditory language like
sound and words in order to deliver or exchange information. It is the superficial part of communication
because it is more obvious than non- verbal cues. Non-verbal cues are your total presentation and self-
expression apart from spoken words. You will miss some non-verbal cues when you are not in a face- to
face interaction like on the phone or using the Messenger.

A good communicator, whether talking to a child, in front of an audience, or behind the desk, has to
be only keen to verbal and non-verbal cues. More importantly, his expressions and words have to agree.

Here is a graph that summarizes both verbal and non-verbal cues.
