This collection highlights diverse epistemological perspectives in original research on the important role of multimodality in second language contexts.
The volume explores a wide range of theoretical and methodological traditions toward foregrounding the notion that bodily action is not merely an add-on to the modality of talk but an integral part of second language teaching, learning, and interaction. Following an introductory chapter, 18 empirical chapters feature either classroom or non-classroom research, which shed light on different dimensions of multimodality in second language contexts, including 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, the background to each study, methodology, and findings. A concluding synthesis chapter braids the insights of these chapters, drawing parallels across different methods, and pointing toward crosscutting areas for future research.
This book will be of interest to students and scholars in applied linguistics, multilingualism, bilingualism, gesture studies, cognitive science, and psychology.
Chapters 10 and 11 of this book are available for free in PDF format as Open Access at www.taylorfrancis.com. They has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike (CC-BY-NC-SA) 4.0 International license.

In this candid memoir, Amanda Brown chronicles the unimaginable sexual abuse she suffered from the age of eight at the hands of her stepfather, Davy Tweed. No Peace Until He’s Dead offers a raw and unflinching account of Amanda’s childhood years marred both by the domestic abuse suffered by her mother at the hands of Tweed, and her own appalling trauma leading to her courageous pursuit of justice and recovery.
Davy Tweed, a DUP councillor, Orangeman and lauded rugby player for both Ulster and Ireland, maintained the veneer of upstanding citizen through his political and sporting life, yet he was unafraid to show an intimidating streak in public, notably with his involvement in the Harryville pickets, at which he was an unrelenting and vocal figure. However, this public ugliness paled in comparison to the violent incestuous paedophile he was behind closed doors.
This transformative memoir was born of Amanda’s unwavering determination to find her voice and advocate for other survivors of domestic and sexual abuse. No Peace Until He’s Dead forces us to confront a subject so often obscured by fear and shame, and serves as a testament that those who have suffered can overcome their past and find happiness.
