 Classification of Gestures
Descriptive gestures – are just what
the name implies. They are gestures
which aid words in describing anything.
The illustrative gesture attempts to do
for speech, in a limited way, what an
illustrator does for written words. They
make word adjectives clear indicating
limitations or qualifications of things as
regards shape, movements, size,
number and so forth.

 Classification of Gestures
Dramatic or Imitative gestures –
convey impersonation of another
person’s action or “acting out”
part of narrative. These help the
audience imagine the actions
you are narrating. It also adds
animation to your narration to
make your story alive and
interesting.
Body Language - the process of
communicating nonverbally through
conscious or unconscious gestures
and movements. It adds richness
and personal intensity to the very
expression of those thoughts and
feelings we are trying to
communicate.
The Facial Expressions –
should reflect the
speaker’s thinking and
emotional attitudes. Face
reflects what is in the
heart of the person and it
is in the face that the
audience could read what
emotion the speaker
conveys.
 •Posture – maybe
described as how the
speaker stands and
moves around. It could
be an indicator of
speaker’s confidence or
lack of it.
Movement – refers to
total body movement
as the speaker shifts
from one position to
another. It helps to
catch the attention of
the audience in
conveying concrete
meaning to the
message.
Hand gestures – are a
complement for the
demonstration of speaker’s idea.
Some conventional gestures
have acquired almost universal
meaning like the victory signs
and thumbs up. However, a
speaker must be careful of
overdoing it. Too much of it will
only distract the audience, it must
be done naturally.
 What is the
difference between
gestures and body
languages?
 Do hand gestures the
same in every
nation/community? Yes
or no. Why or why not?
How does non-verbal
communication send
an impact to the
words that we are
saying?
Group Activity
 •The class will be divided in five (5) groups
and together will participate in planning a
scenario wherein they will later portray using
only their bodies as props.
