Whenever learning is undertaken, there is an undercurrent of emotions going on with crucial information.
Whether it is taken into consideration or not, it is still there. By acknowledging it, by labeling the emotions
related to different aspects of learning, and by working with them, the individual’s learning process is mastered.
The tendency of the learners to be disappointed by the ‘failures’ is likely to be diminished if failures are taken
as parts of the learning process and as learning experiences. For this realization, emotional intelligence is the
corner stone, the most fundamental element, the very basics of any learning. In the present quantitative study,
60 male and female medical students of Yasuj University of Medical Sciences were selected based on the
convenience sampling. The instruments which were used in this study were two questionnaires: Emotional
Quotient Scale by Bar-On, (2004) and Strategies for Vocabulary Learning by Nation (2006). The study had
three fundamental objectives which seemed to be determinant in the area of pedagogy: the first goal of the
study was to find out if there was any correlation between Iranian English learners’ emotional intelligence and
their vocabulary learning strategy use. To reach this aim, the researcher benefited from the Pearson
Correlation Coefficient test. The other purpose of the present study was to show if English Iranian learners’
with higher emotional intelligence performed better in their vocabulary learning strategy use. To accomplish
this goal the researcher made use of Multiple Regression. It was indicated that there was a significant
relationship between Iranian learners’ emotional intelligence and their vocabulary strategy use. The outcomes
also indicated that Iranian learners with higher emotional intelligence made use of better vocabulary strategies.
In case of gender, the results revealed that there was a difference between male and female learners’ strategy
use.
