Main objectives of study were to measure nonverbal behavior of teachers' both male and female working in English medium Federal Government Cantt Garrison schools, Army Public schools and Private schools and to find out the relationship between teachers' nonverbal behavior and academic achievement of students. 90 science teachers were randomly chosen through cluster sampling technique. An observation form with seven-point rating scale (semantic differential) based on Galloways' categories of nonverbal communication was developed. The rating scale complemented verbal dimension of Flanders' interaction categories through nonverbal dimension. Design of research was descriptive cum observational.
