Abstract:

This book is a result of the growing number of insights found in recent
research on gesture studies and language acquisition, which have renewed the
attention of scholars in gesture functions and meanings in communication and
language learning. Observation of the participation of both gesture and speech
in the formulation of meaning has revealed that communication is typically
multimodal. This perspective has produced engrossing research questions,
particularly in contexts where the combination of languages and cultures is
complex and diversified. Competence in multiple languages and in different
semiotic systems inevitably impacts the way in which people interact and learn
languages. Given its status as a country of immigration, Canada provides such
a context for this study. 

This book discusses the changes that the literature on gesture studies can
help implement in current practices of language pedagogy. By including gesture
as a nonverbal dimension of language and as a means for language acquisition,
it provides a contrast to those traditions that have viewed gesture as a
marginal aspect of communication and language learning. In addition, this book
offers the results of three research studies in Italian language classes in
Canada, showing that gesture enables a multimodal approach in language
pedagogy and a richer experience for both teachers and learners.
