Abstract

Nonverbal communication, together with language communication, accomplishes communicative tasks, and complementing each other. For the cross-cultural differences of nonverbal communication, L2 learners are prone to make social and pragmatic errors by misusing the nonverbal communicative means in the target language environment. It is argued that the cultivation of L2 learner's nonverbal communicative competence should follow the overall development of the communicative competence, and language teachers should carry out a meaningful holistic language teaching activities and teaching mode so as to motivate and cultivate learners' potential integrative competence by the means of utilizing the affordances of the target language environment and mobilizing their multisensory channels.
