Abstract
Teacher clarity was found to be positively correlated with perceived nonverbal immediacy and socio‐communicative style of the instructor. It also was found to be associated with enhanced student affect toward the instructor and the course. Students who perceived the verbal and nonverbal communication of their instructors as being clear and understandable also perceived their instructors as being nonverbally immediate, assertive, and responsive.Keywords
