Can the gestures we perform aid the teaching and learning process? The present paper summarizes the state of the art on the subject within the field of education, with a specific eye on gestural communication. Research has been found at virtually all levels of education regarding the use of gestures as a way to assist students in learning a second language, inclusive education, and science and math education. In general, there is solid evidence supporting that gestural communication helps in the evaluation and introduction of a new word in the teaching of a second language; as an additional resource for teachers and students with disabilities and as a tool to contribute to the teaching of concepts considered abstract and complex in the field of science and mathematics teaching. Of interest is the strong evidence that gesture constitutes a hidden yet powerful channel to exchange information, learn, and even as a tool to help reason.
