During breaks between classes, students usually opt to stay in the students' lounge instead of going back to the mahallah. A lot of times, students go there to relax, revise their lessons a bit before entering the next lecture and mostly took their time to finish up tasks alone. The non-verbal behaviour I noticed is that people inside the students' lounge are relaxed, their shoulders aren't as tense as they were while seating in the class. Whenever one makes eye contact to another person they know, they exchanged friendly smiles and it gives off warming, inviting atmosphere though the room itself is pretty cold due to the AC. There are also a few exchanges between students that aren't as welcoming, for example whenever some students are dealing with harder or more complicated subjects/tasks. The impact this has on the atmosphere is seen to be really intense, with people usually having a serious demeanor making them unapproachable.

This observation took place in high school, where I had a senior student who held a high position at school. He was well-liked by many students because of his positive personality. Even though he held a high position, he practiced humility, which made other students respect him.

One example of his non-verbal behavior that I observed was when he noticed a female student whose hair was accidentally exposed, even though she was wearing a hijab. Instead of verbally pointing it out and letting everyone around hear the conversation (since the area was crowded with students), he gave her a discreet signal to fix her hair quickly.

As a result of this situation, the female student respected him even more because he saved her from embarrassment in front of others by handling the situation privately.

I recently observed a badminton game at Kompleks Badminton Pagoh on 30th October around 9pm. The game was intense, and the players were behind in points, looking a bit stressed. Non-verbal behaviours that I witnessed is, during that moment, their coach was standing at the side, watching closely. Instead of calling a timeout, he used hand signals to encourage the team. He made a strong, sweeping motion, telling them to “chase” the points they lost. Then, he gave a thumbs-up and pumped his fist, showing he believed in them without saying a word.

The impact for that is, right away, the players seemed more motivated. They looked at each other, nodded, and got into a confident stance, gripping their rackets tightly and focusing hard on the game. With each rally, the coach continued to signal encouragement, keeping their energy up.

During the club meeting, I realize the non-verbal communication of my chairperson. Based on my observation, the body language of my chairperson shows an engagement in what the team member is saying by maintaining his posture. Other than that, he actively listened to the team member's input while making eye contact to show his encouragement and approval of the idea. Last but not least, the most important gesture that my chairperson shows is when he wants to emphasize an important thing, he will use a hand movement to reinforce its importance.

Based on the situation, I realized that it could make me feel heard and respected because my chairperson is showing engagement and making the interaction feel more genuine and supportive.

In addition, his actions such as eye contact, nodding and facial expressions helped me, and my team members reinforce the spoken words and make the message clearer and easier to understand.

-----Thank you for sharing this observation! I agree that the non-verbal cues from your chairperson played a big role in making everyone feel respected and valued. His posture and eye contact must have helped build a sense of trust and support during the meeting. It's great that he actively listened and used eye contact to show he was engaged. Although it’s such a small action, but it really makes a difference in how everyone feels.

At Taska Cikgu Ayuni, watching the kids interact without really talking was fascinating, as they still young (1years old-4years old) so few of them are yet fluent in talking. They rely so much on body language as they make these cute, funny facial expressions to show how they felt, like smiling and laughing when they were happy or frowning when something upset them. If any of them want something, they did usually just point or reach for it, and somehow the other kids got the message. Sometimes they will pat each other on the back or even just stand close, which seemed to mean they wanted to join in or asked others to play with them. Eye contact was a big thing, a quick glance to the teacher just to complain on other kid naughty behaviour as if they don’t behave that way one minute before 😂. It’s amazing how they managed to bond and work things out without words, proving non-verbal behaviour are a huge part of how we connect right from the start.

One of my classmates also share about adult communicating through body language so it seems non verbal behaviour do really big role through out our life. and the other one telling about loud voice from other and im not sure if that non verbal behaviour.

I was walking alone passing by the surau mahallah. I observed everyone at the area, and I saw a sister sitting down at the stairs of surau, calling someone.

She seems very frustrated, while keep saying "Huh?!" loudly. I observed and guessed maybe she had a problem in hearing of the other side over the phone call.

The impact of this behaviour could bring curiousity of people around due to her loud voice on trying to hear the other side. Maybe they better to meet each other or try to initiate on new call that have clearer voices.

-----Thank you for sharing this! It’s interesting how non-verbal behaviors, like her frustrated tone and the way she kept saying “Huh?!”, can really draw attention from people around, especially in a quiet place like near the surau. I agree that her loud voice probably made others curious about what was happening, and it could have even distracted some who were nearby.

As I observed in my classroom during the class session, when the lecturer is giving lectures some students sit upright, make eye contact, and nod occasionally, showing they’re actively listening and engaged. One student even leans forward, taking notes with a focused expression, signaling deep interest in the topic.

The impact these behaviors could be in the interaction is the lecturer could feel encourage or even validated due the active listening cues.

I observed two friends sitting on a bench. One person was telling a story, and the other one was listening. The speaker used a lot of hand gestures, making wide motions meanwhile the listener leaned forward, nodding and smiling, showing interest and engagement. Sometimes, the listener would laugh or raise their eyebrows, which encouraged the speaker to keep going.

The impact of the body language is it made the interaction feel warm and connected.

The body language created a welcoming atmosphere, showing mutual respect and attentiveness to both.
