The Relationship between Emotional Intelligence, Willingness to Communicate, Self-Disclosure, and Enjoyment of English Language Learning

Abstract

147 Iranian English language learners (109 female and 38 male), aged 8 to 50, participated in the study. They were selected through convenience sampling from a population of Iranian foreign language learners studying English at different levels in Tehran. Quantitative data on the predictor and outcome variables were collected through relevant standardized questionnaires. Pearson correlation tests, linear regression analyses, and multiple regression analyses were performed to answer the research questions.
