Slideshow – A language we all understand Let’s start with a quiz – what language is used most widely, across the world? Can you think? Chinese? Good guess! Chinese is spoken by more than a billion people! That’s 16% of the world’s population. But no, that’s not the answer we’re looking for. English? Another good guess – this is an English course, after all. English is spoken in more than 60 countries. It’s the international language of business and of science, so many people study it as their second language. But no, that’s not it. Any more guesses? No? OK, the answer is ‘body language’. (Sorry about the trick question!) Some experts claim that up to 90% of communication during a face-to-face conversation is ‘non-verbal’ – that is, unspoken. That’s why, in written communication like emails or text messages, it can be hard to know if someone is upset or if they are joking. Unless you use emoticons, such as smileys or winking faces. Or emojis, like these. They help make the tone of the message clearer. And, of course, they’re also often used to make jokes. Do you use emoticons or emojis? Which do you find most useful? Now back to the real world. Body language can be divided into three groups: body postures, gestures and facial expressions. Our body posture is the way we hold our bodies. With it, we convey a lot of important information about how we feel. For example, when we are annoyed with someone, we might cross our arms and lean forward.
