This comprehensive collection showcases a diverse range of epistemological perspectives in original research on the crucial role of multimodality in second language contexts. The volume delves into a wide array of theoretical and methodological traditions, aimed at highlighting the notion that bodily action is not merely an adjunct to the modality of talk but an essential component of second language teaching, learning, and interaction.

Following an introductory chapter, the book comprises 18 empirical chapters, each presenting either classroom or non-classroom research, shedding light on various dimensions of multimodality in second language contexts. These dimensions encompass learning reflected in gesture, learning gesture across languages, the role of bodily action in language teaching, and the role of movement in configuring space for effective communication. Each empirical chapter follows a consistent structure, detailing the research focus, background to each study, methodology, and findings.

A concluding synthesis chapter weaves together the insights of these chapters, drawing parallels across different methods and identifying crosscutting areas for future research. This book appeals to students and scholars in applied linguistics, multilingualism, bilingualism, gesture studies, cognitive science, and psychology.
