This study examined the relationship between EFL (English as a Foreign Language) students' EQ and learning strategies, English proficiency with EIS (Emotinal Intelligence Scale) and Strategy Inventory for Language Learning as well as students' tests in English listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Pearson correlation and regression analysis were applied in the data processing. The subsequent data analysis reveals that there is significant relationship between EFL students' EQ and their learning strategies as well as English proficiency. The correlation between EQ and affective strategies and the correlation between EQ and English speaking proficiency are higher than others. The factors which contribute to the correlation are analyzed. Furthermore, it is suggested for EFL teachers to take measures to facilitate students' EQ in classroom teaching展开更多
