Using Gestures in Teaching Koine

The use of Gestures and minimal use of American Sign Language has been a great way to add comprehension without leaving the target language. Gesturing has been a special interest of mine.

Four GIF's demonstrating the Nominative, Genitive, Dative, and Accusative set gestures I use

Note that the Genitive and Dative GIF's contain two gestures.

Four Videos on Gestures

1. Early video I did as I was testing out the concept of gesturing cases.
2. Demonstration of the cases.
3. Greek only - short video that attempts to force listener to recognize case endings.
4. Review of a scholarly article about gesturing and teaching languages.
