Abstract

This study aims at examining the relationship between emotional intelligence and the variable of academic achievement on the one hand, and the role of the content-based approach in achieving this relation on the other hand. To bring about such kind of interrelation, a design of a pre-post-test has been used. The main findings of the study show that there is a positive relationship between participants’ emotional intelligence skills. In conclusion, the use of the content-based approach in teaching students enhances the effect of emotional intelligence on their academic achievement.
