Verbal Cues- refer to
the spoken text itself
and to the spoken
words.
This includes the use of powerful
or leading statements, questions,
interjections, repetition, contrast,
narration, anecdote, examples,
humor, idioms, quotations or
figurative language.
Non-verbal signals include
eye contact, facial
expressions, hand gestures,
posture, movement and
other forms of body
language.
Explicit is clear and
direct. Basically,
anything someone
tells you in clear
language is explicit.
Implicit is implied
rather than directly
stated. Any hint you
give indirectly is an
implicit signal.
