Others : "body language in EFL classroom"

Hello,everyone! I'm a college student from China,and my English teacher give me a very interesting topic "body language in English as a foriegn language classroom "
I know some gustures'meanings are different from country to country.Making a circle with your thumb and index finger in the USA means OK, alright, good. You can use it to signify approval. In Turkey it means that someone is homosexual. In Australia it means zero. In Germany it can mean job well done or a grave insult, it all depends on which region you visit. In New Zealand it is regarded as a cheesy way of saying OK but is not much used.
according to the report ,80% information comes from body language,while 20%information
is from word language.So i think body language is very important in EFL classroom .No only can we get teacher'meaning quickly but also enable us to learn the culture of the country.Because body language is so directly understood,and full of enmotion.
In my eyes ,body language is a most interesting language in the world .Without it,our daily life loses its colour;Without it ,as if no birds sing in the sky.What's your idies about "body language in EFL classroom"I'm waiting for your replys.
