This study examines the comparison between English Department students’ emotional intelligence (EQ) and their success. The success here does not only include their academic achievement, but also their self-esteem. As university students, they are supposed to be mature, meaning that they can accept the result of their study, both success and failure equally. In other words, it is recommended that they have positive attitudes to accept whatever result they get; they take the responsibility and do not blame other people. This is surely a great challenge for an English teacher to have such mature students. How an English teacher ‘shapes’ the students in her classroom through the teaching and learning process is discussed in the study. For this purpose, twenty-two students learning English in their second semester are chosen. The students are asked to complete an EQ test. Furthermore, they are given a questionnaire on self-esteem. The result is compared with their EQ test. The data are analyzed to find out the comparison of students’ EQ, their academic success and their self-esteem. The implications of the research are discussed.
