Abstract

Communication is a process of delivering messages that involve both verbal and nonverbal cues. Some barriers to conveying messages might occur in communication causing misunderstanding. In BIPA learning, knowledge about verbal and nonverbal communication is needed to bridge the communication between teachers and learners. This research aims to describe the verbal and nonverbal communication forms of Indian learners in BIPA learning. This research uses the type of case study investigating the verbal and nonverbal communication patterns of Indian learners, and their communication barriers when learning BIPA. The findings showed that in communicating verbally, Indian learners tend to use metaphors, idioms, or proverbs. Nonverbal communication is also performed by Indian learners, such as nodding their heads, making eye contact, and shaking hands. The gesture in nonverbal communication that Indian learners often do is shaking their heads as a minimal greeting. This study also found that understanding intercultural communication makes the interaction and communication process smooth and minimal misunderstanding. The understanding of intercultural communication precisely in the verbal and nonverbal communication patterns of Indian learners in BIPA learning minimizes the emergence of negative assumptions or prejudices against other cultures to help Indian learners and teachers adapt to each other's culture.
