Relationship between primary school EFL teachers' emotional intelligence and their classroom management

One of the things that instructors struggle with the most is trying to control a classroom. The management of a teacher's classroom can be influenced by a variety of things. Along with many other aspects, a teacher's personality may have an impact on their management skills. One personality feature that may set apart instructors in terms of their performances in the classroom is their emotional intelligence (EQ). This study investigates the relationship between EFL teachers' emotional intelligence (EQ) and their classroom management. The quantitative research method was used in this study. Participants of this study are 93 EFL teachers who work in private primary schools in Cankaya, Ankara, Turkey. Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire (TEIQue) and Behavior and Instructional Management Scale (BIMS) have been used to collect data. The findings show a statistically significant correlation between EFL teachers' emotional intelligence and classroom management. At the conclusion of this investigation, recommendations for additional research were made.
