Abstract
Communication process requires a powerful combination of verbal and nonverbal processthat is one of the abilities that every teacher needs to master. In communication, the
estimation of sixty-five to seventy percent of the message is received by nonverbal and
only thirty to thirty-five percent by verbal communication. This research seeks to analyze
the effect of nonverbal communication by secondary teachers on the motivation and
presence of students in a collaborative online learning environment. The information was
gathered by questionnaires and interviews from both instructors and learners. The results
showed that Nonverbal Communication can be an essential source of inspiration and
attention for the learning process of students and a medium to attract their attention.
Relying on the research outcomes that show the important role of Nonverbal
Communication (NVC) in the teaching and learning process teachers by using the
appropriate NVC types, eventually play a critical role during online collaborative teaching
which can affect students’ motivation and higher collaborative learning participation. In
order to accurately convey learning content to students, teachers will have to improve and
expand positive interactions.
