Аннотация:
Emotional intelligence (EI) has gained increasing attention in educational research due to its significant influence on students’ academic performance, motivation, and communication skills. In the context of teaching English as a Foreign Language (EFL), speaking is often considered the most challenging skill for adolescent learners, particularly 15-year-old students in the 10th grade. This article explores the role of emotional intelligence in teaching EFL speaking, emphasizing how emotional awareness, self-regulation, empathy, and social skills contribute to students’ speaking confidence, classroom interaction, and overall communicative competence. The study highlights the importance of emotionally intelligent teaching practices in creating a supportive learning environment that enhances students’ willingness to speak English.
