Emotional Intelligence: A Panacea to Language Teaching

Ogholgol Nazari, Nima Shakouri

Abstract


As emotional intelligence plays an important role in peoples’ lives, it can also be extended to language teaching. In this regard, it is indispensable for teachers to know how to develop emotional intelligence. The present paper made an endeavor to provide the ways to develop emotional intelligence. Although the achievement of success is variously defined by different theories, in this theory (i.e., emotional intelligence) success will be achieved when students can control their emotions. What the paper attempts has been to cast lights upon our perception in the behavior that the teachers can employ in order to help students to control their emotions.
