Abstract | Differences between American and Japanese society and culture that contribute to differences in the use of body language are examined. These include historical and social factors. Examples of the differences and of the misunderstandings that can result are analyzed and illustrated, using a system of classifying kinesic codes into categories according to function. Suggestions are made for teaching kinesic codes in English-as-a-second-language instruction to promote better intercultural communication. (A five-page reference list is appended.) (MSE) |
