Chart Appropriate distance applied by teachers Like distance uses in daily life communication, distance uses in classroom also convey certain meanings Most teachers, both Vietnamese and American, are in favor of 45-360 cm distance This distance ranges from personal zone to social zone (the researcher will not consider 5-10 cm error) With a small-sized class, these ones are appropriate The number of Vietnamese teachers and American teachers prefer personal distance while lecturing are the same (about 40%) while there is a light difference in the number of teachers prefer social distance 40% of American teachers choose social distance while only 33.3% of Vietnamese teacher In addition, American teachers not change their distance with students as often as Vietnamese teacher 63% of Vietnamese often change their distance during lecture while only 20% of American teacher that (Table 3) Table Frequency of changing distance Frequency Vietnamese American Often 63% 20% Sometimes 37% 60% Rarely 0% 0% Don't remember 0% 20% Others 0% 0% 34 With regards to the distance uses in classroom, the researcher would like to mention teacher’s positions during a lecture In a small classroom (for 20-25 students), the distance from the board to students’ desks is about 100-120 cm and from the teacher’s desk to students’ desks is about 50-70 cm Still be small-sized class, but for about 40 students, the distance from class dais area and teacher’s desk is extended 30 cm each Chart 10 Teacher‟s positions while lecturing Nearly 62% of Vietnamese teachers and only 20% of American teachers stand close to students while lecturing As it can be observed, this distance belongs to personal distance The number of American teachers choose to sit at teacher’s desk is 20% and stand at class dais is 30% also indicate their preference for social distance The rest 30% of them use those three positions depending on situations From surveyed students’ observation, in addition to those three positions, teachers change their distance by wandering amongst students as well 4.6 What are the students’ inappropriate behaviors during a lecture and teacher’s reaction? The most inappropriate behavior of students during a class, according to questionnaire teachers, is keep silence all the time Nevertheless, if 60% of 35 Vietnamese teachers take it serious, only 40% of American do, even though silence is more widely accepted in daily communication in Vietnam than it is in the U.S In her own research on nonverbal behaviors in teacher – student communication, Hang, B.T.T, found out that the meanings of students’ silence in class interpreted by American teachers consisted of 25% distrust, 35% disagreement and 5% agreement Meanwhile, the meanings of students’ silence in class conveyed by Vietnamese students included 15% distrust, 15% disagreement and 30% agreement As it is stated before, American culture gives prominence to individualism; therefore, students’ silence in class is accepted at ease In Vietnamese English classroom nowadays, teachers are inclined to interpret students’ silence as a signal of misunderstanding That is the reason why such behavior is the most annoying one to them Additionally, Vietnamese teachers feel annoyed when students have disrespect behaviors such as sticking out their tongue, tapping fingers on the table, coming late and listening to music while teachers are lecturing Nonetheless, 60% of American teachers find it annoyed when students use cell phone to call or text messages, touch or push other students in class Regardless of using cell phone in public places, in the U.S any touching behaviors should be avoided Chart 11 Students‟ inappropriate nonverbal behaviors in class 36 Teachers have different sorts of dissatisfaction such as students inappropriate answers and inappropriate behaviors in class In such cases, a majority of 60% American teachers react using verbal language rather than express their dissatisfaction nonverbally Vietnamese teachers, on the other hand, prefer including both nonverbal and verbal cues, as it is shown in chart 12 Inasmuch as the verbal reaction when teachers are not satisfied with students’ answers has been discussed in 4.1.2.3 Preferred and dispreferred expressions, the researcher is going to discuss verbal expressions by teachers when students have been disrespectful or disruptive in class In this situation, American teacher are likely to talk to them alone after class and ask them to change their ways This type of personal conversation can be seen widely in American education In Vietnamese education, teachers act in different way They can absolutely give direct comments on rebellious students Chart 12 Teacher‟s reactions on dissatisfaction An apparent sign of teachers’ nonverbal reaction on disagreement with students is frowning Although chart does not reveal that teachers use frowning in class, table indicates clearly that teachers from both countries use frowning with a light intensity (ranging from sometimes to rarely) and Vietnamese teachers use frowning more frequently than American teachers In terms of lips pouting, the same to what students 37 observed, teachers, both Vietnamese and American, not use this kind of expressions to express their dissatisfaction Table Frequency of frowning by teachers Frequency Often Vietnamese American 0% 0% Sometimes 48.2% 20% Rarely 44.4% 60% Don't remember 7.4% 20% However, if Vietnamese teachers frown quite negatively and irritatingly, American teachers incline to frown comically or have positive look rather than letting students know they are in negative mood The researcher would like to raise the explanation as followed Vietnamese society is a hierarchical one, which emphasizes social ranks and statuses It is obvious that teachers have much higher status than students, so they feel freer to show their superior over students While in the U.S., where treasure equality and egalitarianism, such gap between teachers and students are not of much importance Teachers act as instructors, who guide students but not impose them 38 CHAPTER CONCLUSION 5.1 Summary It could not be denied that nonverbal cues are of a significant role to convey intended messages in communication Although many nonverbal behaviors are the same in different cultures, the interpretations of their meanings are different from culture to culture For example, nodding head in Vietnamese culture does not always mean “yes” This gesture in Vietnam can be understood in three ways Nodding head may indicate acceptance (i.e “yes”), recognition of other people (it can be seen as one way to say “hello”) or it may be a proof of hearer’s concentration at what speaker is saying in a conversation Nonverbal behaviors are obviously influenced by cultural factors Besides, in the process of transferring and acquiring knowledge, verbal behaviors no doubt is more important than nonverbal behaviors In the light of culture, verbal behaviors in classroom also reflect cultural values Let take the way teachers encourage students as an example American teachers highly appreciate individual’s performance, therefore, when a student cannot give an appropriate answer, they will try to help student find out the answer himself by saying “try this…what can you to improve it?” while Vietnamese teachers may let that student sit down and think afterward This act can help student save his/her “face” in front of the whole class After carrying out this paper, the researchers realizes that the teaching methodology employed in class at FELTE is much similar to that in American classroom It is a fact that most teachers at FELTE, ULIS used to study abroad or get used to American culture for quite a long time Therefore, they are somehow automatically and positively influenced by this culture As a result, they can build a relatively English-like environment for their students This study aims at figuring out similarities and differences in both verbal and nonverbal behaviors of teachers and student during class, and they are summarized as following: 39 In terms of similarities: - Both of Vietnamese and American teachers use small talk to begin their lectures The topics for small talk are usually something related to the lecture or out-of-lecture topics such as teachers’ and students’ personal issues or campus life in general - The vast majority of Vietnamese teachers and American teachers are of the same opinion on questions uses during a lecture and types of questions used reveal cultural factors - Vietnamese teachers and American teachers are in favor of personal and social distance while lecturing - Teachers from both countries have some common nonverbal cues like head movements, smiling face and frowning They also have nearly the same idea about students’ inappropriate nonverbal behaviors in class - Students from both countries have similar perception on class atmosphere created by their teachers In terms of differences, the main cultural factors reflected in these differences are American individualism, freedom, directness, equality, egalitarianism and Vietnamese hierarchical culture: - Vietnamese teachers and American teachers have different ways to express their dissatisfaction When students give incorrect answers, American teachers are likely to be more encouraging than Vietnamese teachers When a student has disruptive or disrespectful attitude or behaviors, American teachers will talk to him/her personally rather than condemn him/her in front of the whole class like many Vietnamese teachers may In other words, Vietnamese teachers and American teachers have different idea on student’s face saving acts - Vietnamese teachers prefer transferring message nonverbally, especially when they feel irritated caused by students’ improper actions In such situations, their nonverbal expressions seem to be more negative than those of American teachers 40 - Touching behaviors are avoided in American culture, even though those behaviors are among students - The reasons for students’ remaining silence when a question is given are different from Vietnamese students and American student Vietnamese students hesitate to give answer because they are afraid of giving the wrong one Meanwhile, in the American classroom, any answer, even opposite to what teachers say, is accepted and respected Through these similarities and differences, the researcher hopes to raise cultural awareness for Vietnamese students who wish to study in the U.S in the future Coming from another culture, there is only one way to deal with culture shocks and that is fitting in Unfortunately, no book will give you full details Therefore, the best solution is understanding basic features of that culture and bearing in mind this statement “When in Rome, like the Romans do”, i.e, watch other people and like they 5.2 Limitation of the study and suggestion for further research In conclusion, due to the matter of time and personal knowledge, this paper hardly covers all aspects of both verbal and nonverbal behaviors at a lecture, especially verbal behaviors (coming from students) In terms of methodology, this study would be more valid if the researcher could practice observation on real lectures in both countries While nonverbal communication in general as well as in classroom is studied by a huge number of experts and researchers from different perspectives like psychology view, anthropology view or culture view, little research on verbal communication in classroom with regard to culture is carried out As well, there is little document on this topic, which may lead to some intercultural misunderstandings The researcher hope that this paper will be able to build up another foundation for further research on cultural factors reflected in classroom verbal language 41 REFERENCES Hybels, S & Weaver, R.L
