Perceptions of Students regarding the Quality of Teachers’ Lecture Delivery at Face-to-Face Workshops was the researcher area of interest. Objectives of the study were to explore students’ opinions on the engagement level of teachers during lecture delivery at university level and to explore students feedback on the responsiveness of teachers to questions and concerns during lectures. The descriptive research design was adopted for the current study to explore the perceptions of students regarding the quality of teachers’ lecture delivery at Allama Iqbal Open University face to face workshop center Swabi. All the students of B.Ed 1.5 and B.Ed 2.5 constituted the population of the study. Out of total population 50 students were randomly selected as sample of the study. The researcher used random sampling technique A closed ended questionnaire was developed for data collection. The researcher personally visited the sample university and distributed the questionnaire among the students. After the collection of the data, it was tabulated, analyses and interpreted in the form of frequencies and percentages. Findings of the study concluded that majority of the participants viewed that their teacher presents the lecture content in a clear and organized manner. Maximum participants viewed that their teacher engages students throughout the lecture. Most of the participants viewed that their lecture includes interactive elements (e.g., discussions, activities, questions). Majority of the participants viewed that their teacher effectively incorporates technology to enhance the lecture.
