摘要：This study aimed to explore the differences between high and low-EQ scorers in learning an L2. To achieve this objective, a group of 30 intermediate learners attended a course in which community language teaching was used to teach speaking skills to the learners. Half of the participants had high EQs and the other half had low EQs. Speaking ability of these participants was checked by a pre-test before treatment and a post-test after treatment. Results of these tests showed that high-EQ L2 learners benefit more from those courses in which community language teaching is used to teach speaking skills to learners. It is suggested that being more aware of the feelings of themselves and others can be an influential factor in the success of those L2 learners who are taught by community language teaching. This is in agreement with humanistic approaches to language teaching that emphasize the role of emotional factors in the process of language development. The findings of this study suggest further lines of investigation through which the impact of EQ on L2 acquisition can be explored.
