It is our great hope in this new project to finally be able to use them in order to answer the very question you have posed. I recommend avoiding teaching about kinesics especially as there is very little research on which to base any prescriptive formula. The most important job is to teach skills of observation and then to lead students in the experience of native-like kinesics and communicational performance. I want to also get away from the notion that this is entirely about kinesics. I would only be interested in any communicational element inasmuch as it contributes to interactional synchrony .
Interactional synchrony is the proper pacing and rhythm, give and take, of a communication.
Your body parts, your sounds, your use of space all contribute to creating the engaging, seamless flow of information that is the hallmark of good communication. In any new training process there is a first stage requiring formal training of a select cadre of users. After that first stage you may need some subsequent waves of formal training but that need attentuates over time as the information begins to be transmitted in informal or self-funding ways. I believe that we will need to give workshops at conferences and seminars for several years to come. But as the years go on and as this work is established as a necessary part of all language training, we will be able to finance workshops more readily from attendee fees rather than from an outside funding source.
