This descriptive study intends to investigate the influence of a teacher’s nonverbal communication on classroom learning objectives using a descriptive technique. This also determined the association between the unspoken behaviours of teachers working in various educational systems. The main objective of the research is to understand how non-verbal communication skills, including facial expressions, eye contact, pitch of voice, and physical appearance, collectively contribute to achieving classroom learning objectives. The quantitative survey method was used to present the study. This research was descriptive in nature. A 5-point Likert scale questionnaire was developed for data collection. This questionnaire was administered to a sample of 400 respondents who were randomly selected from 40 public and private secondary schools in Multan. Using SPSS software, the acquired data was tabulated and evaluated. The collected data was tabulated, analysed, and interpreted in the form of mean, frequency, percentage, and standard deviation. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were used to arrive at the conclusions. Frequencies and percentages were computed to illustrate the demographic items and questions, and one-way ANOVA and the independent sample t-test were utilized to illustrate the variations in teacher perspectives depending on various factors related to demographics.
