Isu pelaksanaan komunikasi bukan lisan dalam pengajaran bahasa Arab melalui atas talian: The issue of nonverbal communication practice in Arabic language teaching via online platform

Nonverbal communication skills (NVC) are the cornerstone of effective teaching and facilitation processes among teachers. Due to the development of information technology and its influence on education practices, the implementation of this communication via the online platform should be mastered by teachers as well. The discussion uses a meta-analysis approach by investigating previous studies to identify issues of NVC practise in online Arabic language teaching. The results showed some issues with NVC practise in Arabic Language teaching and facilitating processes via online platforms. The issue of NVC practise among teachers during the teaching process in traditional or online classrooms still exists despite their knowledge of the subject matter itself. Among them are the weaknesses in verbal communication practises as well as external factors such as workload and technology support. The implications of this study suggest that teachers who teach traditionally need to first improve their weaknesses in their NVC skills, as it will be harder in the online teaching process. Teachers cannot avoid following the current trend of teaching and learning as the need for education is constantly changing when current technologies take place. Thus, infrastructure and technology need to be developed in tandem with excellent communication skills
