From a gender perspective, this research utilized questionnaires administered to college students and faculty, and applied statistical analysis to investigate the shared perceptions of both groups regarding teachers’ language, demeanor, and appearance. Additionally, the study evaluated the impact of these factors on the perceived charisma of instructors during classroom sessions. Results indicate that female instructors are perceived as more charismatic than their male counterparts. A teacher’s linguistic charm can enhance students’ critical thinking skills, and those with a visually appealing presence tend to captivate students more effectively. In terms of charismatic classroom behaviors, male instructors exhibit less expressiveness in facial cues compared to female instructors. However, male instructors excel in modulating their vocal pitch during lectures. When juxtaposing eye contact with gesturing, educators often prefer gesturing to convey teaching charisma. Furthermore, the act of moving around the classroom by teachers can lead to perceptual disparities between students and instructors.
