Abstract(in English) In this study, we focused on speech proactivity evaluation in foreign language conversation with virtual characters in walk-through RPGs. The game provides the player some positive rewards when he/she expresses proactive conversations, in a friendly manner. In this paper, we add an evaluation of gestural proactivity in user's speech based on the magnitude of head and arm movements and pose size.
