AB  -     TEACHING BODY LANGUAGE: EFECTIVE COMMUNICATION               IN CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRYDue to its fragmented, dynamic and project based characteristics, the construction industryforms a very complex communication environment, where most problems in construction arereferred to as communication problems. As it is proven that effective communication andconflict resolution abilities have a strong correlation between them, communication in theconstruction industry should constantly be improved. Unfortunately, the existing constructioncurriculums do not offer enough courses which would help students to communicateeffectively. Embedding technical communication into curricula and introducing courses suchas Construction Communication aiming on producing construction management (CM)graduates with good writing and speaking skills. However, written and verbal languages arenot the sole means by which individuals exchange information. Body language plays asignificant role in the communication. Therefore it is necessary for CM graduates to masterthe skills of using and reading a body language.The literature study for the subject of communication in the education shows that bodylanguage and nonverbal communication were not really taken into consideration yet. Theyare primarily the subject areas of anthropologists, linguists, and social psychologists.This paper aims to understand the role of body language and its interpretation at disputeresolution in the construction industry. It is an attempt to point out the importance ofunderstanding nonverbal cues of individuals in the construction industry and developsuggestions about the enriched content of the communication courses in constructioncurricula.                                                                                             1
