The present study was conducted to explain the effects of teacher immediacy on students’ learning at school, college and university level. Teacher immediacy has been a significant aspect of learning. Effective teaching and effective communication skills go hand in hand. Nonverbal teacher immediacy plays a mediating role in the reception and effectiveness of teacher control strategies. Teacher immediacy also increases students’ affective and behavioral learning. It was hypothesized that teachers’ verbal and nonverbal communication skills affect students’ learning. To test this hypothesis the researchers conducted a survey research to investigate the effects of teacher’s immediacy on students’ learning. For this purpose the researchers developed a 5 point scale (Likert type) to measure the effect of teacher immediacy on students’ learning at different levels. A sample of 308 students from school, college and university were conveniently selected, out of which 108 were school students, 87 were college students and 114 were university students. Data analysis was conducted. Chi Square test also showed a considerable difference of students’ perception towards teacher immediacy among different age groups and institution levels.
