only concerned with the non-verbal interaction of teacher and impaired-hearing
students in the 3
grade academic year 2019/2020 at SDLB Negeri 107708 Lubuk
Pakam. The researcher has found the results that the teacher used various types of
non-verbal communication in learning in the classroom, but the impaired-hearing
students paid attention to the teacher such as gaze or eye contact, posture and
gesture. Teachers who are not eye contact with students are interpreted by
students that the teacher does not want to listen, do not care, or other negative
feelings. Specifically students pay attention to the teacher's face when entering
class because this is used by students to predict how learning activity will proceed
next. Facial expressions with joy mean that the teacher teaches happily and that
makes the impaired-hearing students ready to carry out learning at the time
