ABSTRACT

This paper aims to explore how Nonviolent Communication (NVC) in teaching affects students’ academic performance in the American movie Stand and Deliver and then raises three questions: (1) How teachers can actively participate in the teaching and learning process through NVC? (2) What NVC strategies are used by teachers in the film Stand and Deliver? (3) Whether NVC strategies are conducive to improving teaching efficiency and promoting students' knowledge absorption? Based on Illocutionary Act Theory and the NVC model, this paper applies three research methods, including literature review, qualitative description and illustration, to analyze the impact of NVC on teaching. The conclusion is that Nonviolent communication provides conditions for teachers and students to actively participate in the process of teaching and learning, and the teacher in the film adopts the NVC strategy of observation, feeling, need, and request expression, improving teaching efficiency and promoting students' knowledge absorption.
