During the author’s teaching practice, she tries to interpret the meaning of the word “l(fā)ift”, it can be easily explained by the gesture of putting up her hands to pick up the desk and then students understand it immediately. After the class, a student came over to her and asked what the meaning of the phrase “spiral stallcase” is, she explained it several times and wrote the definition on the blackboard: “it means a curve in space winding round a central line”, but the student still did not understand. At that moment, she used her hand displayed a screwtype gesture, and then the student realized it is a twistandcrawled stair.It’s helpful for teachers to make gestures to transmit message and emphasize the power of persuasion and influence.
