Abstract in Portuguese
O presente estudo aborda o papel da gesticulação espontânea no ensino-aprendizagem de língua estrangeira. Verificamos em experimento o impacto da gesticulação do narrador na compreensão de narrativas por ouvintes aprendizes de língua estrangeira. Controlamos a presença e ausência do fator gestual na apresentação das narrativas. A presença de gestos aumentou o desempenho dos voluntários na tarefa de compreensão. Para entendermos melhor a relação entre gesticulação e compreensão de narrativas, correlacionamos dados de desempenho dos voluntários com medidas comportamentais de movimentação e fixação oculares registradas durante a realização dos experimentos por equipamento de rastreamento ocular

Abstract in English
The present study investigates the role of spontaneous gesticulation in the process of teaching and learning a foreign language. We studied experimentally the impact of the narrators gesticulation on the comprehension of narratives by students of English as a foreign language. We controlled the presence and absence of hand gesticulation in the presentation of the stimuli. The presence of gestures increased volunteers performance in the comprehension task. For a better understanding of the relation between gesticulation and comprehension of narratives, we correlated data from volunteers perfomance with behavioral measures of eye movement and fixation, captured during the experiment by eyetracking methodology
