Abstract
This experimental study considers the impact of non-verbal communication on the
learning achievement of students of class 10th
. This study highlights the importance of
non-verbal communication in teaching of poetry in the subject of English. The study
discusses the research questions of how teacher’s notion of medium of instruction might
enhance the teaching of English poetry and what type of learning is possible with the
incorporation of prosodic features? Population of the study comprises the selected school
in urban area of Peshawar (North-West of Pakistan). Experiment in the actual classroom
setting was conducted in the sampled school. The significant difference between pre-and
post-tests of the control and experimental groups was tested through paired t-test. Results
revealed that teachers created active learning environment through their non-verbal
gestures; whereby students were attentive in the classrooms and actively participated in
the learning process, which consequently enhanced the level of their retention and
understanding. Use of non-verbal communication helped the teacher to provide better
understanding to the students in their learning achievement. On the contrary teacher who
did not use non-verbal communication in the classroom could not motivate the students
for effective learning.
