چکیده

To testify the contrastive properties of two combinations of Emotional Intelligence (EI) index including emotional vs. cognitive subscale dyads among one hundred and twenty universitystudents (52 male & 68 female), this study was carried out to predict their success in their General English (GE) course during one academic semester. Datasets were obtained through a self-report Bar's On EI Questionnaire (1977) and mapped over the participants' academiclinguistic performance through Discriminant Function Analyses (DFA) techniques within two successive phases: In the first phase, the statistical results revealed that, overall, Wilks'sLambda was significant: ᴧ= .000, ᵡ2 (2, N= 120) = .000, p< .001. This indicated that the two predictors could differentiate between the two groups of success/ non-success. In the second phase, in order to verify which combinatory subscale dyads of EI (cognitive vs. emotional)could have predicted success in either of success vs. non-success groups, the results obtained through Fishers' linear discriminant function was used which showed EI emotional set involving two 'assertiveness' and 'self-awareness' factors could have better predicted success innon-success compared with success group. Finally, possible pedagogical implications of considering university students' EI indices and their language learning as a social practice were discussed for teaching English at tertiary levels.
