Nonverbal Communication Training Guide

This is for my intercultural communication class.

Create a nonverbal training guide for someone who wants to travel and experience the culture you have been studying in this class (I have been studying African American culture in the US). In your training guide, you need to explain what to do and what not to do in nonverbal communication as well as provide explanations for why behaviors are either appropriate or inappropriate (ground your justification in scholarly research on cultural norms). This guide could be in paper, video, or in-class presentation format according to instructor discretion (A powerpoint presentation is fine. However do make sure to add some speaker notes).

1. The training guide needs to cover each of these nonverbal communication dimensions:
2. Kinesics
3. Proxemics
4. Haptics
5. Paralinguistics
6. Chronemics
7. Physical appearance/attire
8. Oculesics
9. Olfactics
10. The training guide must also include a visual element to illustrate dos and don’ts.
11. Include specific warnings that address key differences in nonverbal symbols between the culture you are studying and the culture of your audience.
12. Be sure to included scholarly sources to support claims about what is normal/accepted behavior in the culture.

Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.
