Extending the Language Curriculum with Enabling Technologies: Nonverbal Communication and Interactive Video by C. Fidelman, article reprint from CALICO Monograph IV, June 1997.
Project Description
The FIPSE-funded project "Face-To-Face With Change", promotes the learning of total communication skills when dealing in-person with members of another culture. This means teaching the elements of gesture, intonation, body movement and pacing that impart a more native-like feel to a person's second language performance and therefore diminish the possibilities for cross-cultural misunderstanding. The interactive video materials that support this teaching are called "In The French Body" and "In The German Body". Participating institutions will experiment with and observe the ways that implementation of the teaching of nonverbal and paralinguistic skills in foreign language can be fostered. Teacher-generated ideas for implementation at the beginning, intermediate, advanced and professional levels of language training will be included on this web site as they become available.
