Non-verbal communication is an essential aspect of human interaction, playing a significant role in conveying emotions, intentions, and attitudes. This article explores the pedagogical features involved in the development and enhancement of non-verbal communication skills. Through a comprehensive review of relevant literature and empirical research findings, we discuss the importance of non-verbal communication in various aspects of life, including education, business, and social interactions. We also outline effective pedagogical strategies and techniques to foster the acquisition and refinement of non-verbal communication skills, emphasizing the role of education in improving interpersonal and intercultural communication.
