人类交际由语言交际和非语言交际组成。非语言交际是人类交际中不可缺少的一部分,在人类交际中起着语言交际无法代替的作用。外语教学的主要目的是培养学生的跨文化交际能力。因此外语教师在教给学生语言技能的同时,也应该注意对学生跨文化非语言交际能力的培养。 Human communication consists of verbal communication and nonverbal communication. Nonverbal communication is an indispensable part of human communication. It plays a role that language communication cannot replace in human communication. The main purpose of foreign language teaching is to cultivate students’ intercultural communicative competence. Therefore, foreign language teachers should also pay attention to students’ cross-cultural nonverbal communication ability while teaching them language skills.
