The article explores the correlation between students’ emotional intelligence (EI) and their success in learning English as a foreign language. Emotional intelligence, which includes self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, and social skills, is considered one of the key psychological factors influencing academic performance. The study highlights how students with higher EI levels demonstrate stronger communication abilities, better stress management during language learning, and more effective collaboration in classroom activities. It also emphasizes that emotional intelligence fosters motivation, builds confidence, and reduces language anxiety, all of which contribute to improving listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills. The findings suggest that integrating emotional intelligence development into English language teaching can enhance learners’ overall achievement and promote long-term success in foreign language acquisition.
