Abstract:

 Although scholars have been fascinated by gesture since antiquity, identifying it is still a difficult undertaking. In the 1960s and 1970s, gesture was studied with other bodily behaviors like gaze, facial expressions, body position, and proximity behavior as a sort of nonverbal behavior.These studies are referred to as nonverbal communication research.In contrast, since the 1980s and onwards, a new line of research has emerged that focuses on how closely gesture and speech are intertwined in the creation of meaning, which is the concern of the current paper, in which we attempt to shed light on gesture identification, its types and phases, the gesture-culture relationship, and then review various research studies that reveal the pedagogical implications.Finally, we offer some pedagogical suggestions and recommendations.
