Hello Aspirant,

Non-verval communication includes physical clues during a conversation like body language ,facial expression, hand movement or gestures ,tone of voice,touch,body postures and many more that can convey a message about you to someone else without the use of words. There are both advantages and disadvantages involved but as far as the benefits are concerned , non-verbal communication can make it easier or simplify the communication in certain situations . For example , if you are in an emotional or sensitive state when it is difficult to talk , you gesture or expression can convey the content. It also adds value to the verbal communication , makes it more meaningful. It substitute verbal communication when there is a language barrier. Likewise, sometimes it can save time ,like instead of a big para you can easily subsitute it with a simple expression or signs . When it comes to disadvantages , the main one includes a high possibility of misinterpretation.

Hope it helps

All the best

Hello,

Nonverbal communication uses gestures, facial expressions, tone of voice, eye contact, body language, posture, etc to communicate with one another without using any language. This form of communication is almost as important as your verbal responses and studies have showed that almost over 65% of communication is nonverbal.

Below i have listed out some  of the advantages of non verbal communication:

  • Non-verbal communication complement a verbal message, for example you can nod your head to show that you agree with that person.

  • Easy to express your ideas and views

  • Can be useful in an environment where you can not talk

  • Useful when you have to communicate with a person who does not understand your language

  • Can be useful when you have to communicate with a person of determination
