چکیده (انگلیسی):

Economic and market globalization in the United States has engendered a multicultural learning
environment that challenges both faculty and students. Diversity in the classroom is further
complicated by nonverbal communication, which impacts on students’ attitudes toward faculty
members. Because today’s classrooms are changing and undergoing rapid shifts in composition,
culture, and orientation, the nature of learning is also changing to be more participative,
interactive, and team-oriented. To ensure that effective learning is taking place in
global/multicultural classroom settings, an improved faculty-student nonverbal relationship is
critically important. This study, therefore, emphasizes the importance of appropriate dress/attire
in a diverse classroom setting.
