A substantial body of developmental research has demonstrated that the co-speech manual gestures produced by children play a crucial role during child cognitive?and monolingual language?development across the lifetime.? Concurrently, another rich body of literature concerning child second language (SL) and foreign language (FL) acquisition has highlighted a number of key cognitive?mechanisms?that, along?with environmental factors, affect SL and FL acquisition outcomes.? To date?there has been little examination of whether gesture may provide a facilitative effect in child SL and FL acquisition akin to its role in monolingual development. More surprising is the paucity of?examinations?of how gesture use during SL and FL acquisition may interact with?general cognitive mechanisms that have been shown to affect SL acquisition in children.? Previous pilot research suggested that gestures do aid child lexical FL acquisition. However, the type of gesture mattered; there was a?differential facilitative trend across gesture type and the age of the learner. As such, the overarching purpose of the current dissertation?was to?explore the facilitative nature of gesture within child FL lexical mapping with a specific focus on the interactional?effects of gesture type and?cognitive factors---age, phonological awareness, phonological short-term memory, as well as verbal and nonverbal working memory. Although the results did not directly replicate the previous pilot data, differential effects of instruction condition, child age, and time were found. Younger children benefitted more from passive picture viewing while older children's lexical mapping was facilitated by gesture production. The older children's short-term FL lexical mapping was aided by deictic gesture production while long-term recall was supported by iconic gesture production. Despite the differential effects of instruction condition, age, and time, the analysis of the cognitive factors did not reveal any direct effects. The potential of these findings to deepen and extend the current understanding of gesture in child SL and FL acquisition is discussed within the developmental embodied framework of language, cognition, and learning.
