Description
The main purpose of this activity is to know the value of gesture in non verbal communication and that especially in some cultures.
The teacher makes copies of worksheet 6.3.1 and announces that during the lesson the students are not allowed to use words but only gestures. The teacher starts his usual activities with the class but tries to use a lot of gestures and little words. The students are invited to use gestures if they need something (a pen, a gum...) or want to ask for something. The students are asked to think about the gestures they use and they know.
The teacher tells that the Italians use a lot of gestures to express themselves. He shows them the worksheet 6.3.1 and asks the students to guess the meaning of the different gestures. He asks the students to reproduce the gestures in an adequate situation, proposed by the teacher.
