Lecturer: Hello, everyone! Today’s lecture is about NVC. What 
does this abbreviation stand for?
Student 1: Non-vegetarian cuisine.
Lecturer: I see you’re hungry. Not bad. Any other suggestions? 
Actually, ‘non’ is correct. 
Student 2: Nonverbal clues, communication?
Lecturer: Absolutely! Thanks! That’s today’s topic. When we say 
‘non-verbal communication’, what do we mean?
Students: Gestures, the way we stand, intonation, facial 
expressions, smiles, tone of voice …
Lecturer: Fantastic! Imagine, more than 90 per cent of 
communication is conveyed through our nonverbal behaviour 
like our tone of voice or how we sit or stand. Our actual words 
make up only 7 per cent, according to psychologist Albert 
Mehrabian. … 
Well, you’ve given lots of examples of nonverbal 
communication. Let’s now see how it’s defined by the 
experts. Look at the slide … I’ll read the first definition to 
you … Nonverbal communication, or NVC, is a process of 
communication through sending and receiving wordless 
messages.
