Abstract: This paper examines the impact of social capital on the resettlement of internally displaced persons in Kenya. A survey design was adopted in which both qualitative and quantitative data were collected from households, leaders of community groups, local level government administrators and group members. The sample for the analysis included 400 respondents from two counties: Nakuru county and UasinGishu County. Cross-tabulation analysis indicated social capital had a positive contribution towards the resettlement of the internally displaced persons. The analysis revealed that in the absence of institutional support, IDPs make use of their acquired social capital to resettle. Their social networks serve as the primary forms of insurance that they depend on to smooth out the adverse effects of unforeseen exigencies. It also revealed that norms of reciprocity, values such as being trustworthy, and the belief that other...........

Abstract: Nonverbal communication has been a focus of consideration for some time in areas such as corporate performance skills and individual societal skills. However, it has received little consideration, in language teaching as an accompaniment to spoken language, though recent drifts in neuro linguistic programming concerning reflecting and corresponding body language have sieved into current research and
practice. Comparatively very few techniques have been proposed for teaching nonverbal communication compared to its importance. This paper discusses components and tips of non-verbal communication and how to improve them.
