Abstract

The article deals with the concept of emotional intelligence and its enhancement in the context of higher education. The aim of the present research was to design and test tools aimed at developing emotional intelligence of students in the process of studying English in classes taught in the speaking club format. The authors offer a 4-component instrumental model for the development of emotional intelligence, which is easily used in teaching and applied business. The model was tested during English language classes organized in the format of a speaking club at Ukrainian Engineering Pedagogics Academy (UEPA). The paper describes in detail ways of transforming the natural process of experiencing emotions into emotional competence of students. The effectiveness of a new test-questionnaire was empirically proven. The validity of the test was confirmed by an exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. The practical significance of the study is that the procedures aimed at increasing the level of emotional intelligence of students and the developed questionnaire can facilitate students’ effective adaptation and their successful activity in the modern socio-economic space. The conducted research encourages implementing effective techniques for developing emotional intelligence in the educational process.
