摘要：This study aims to determine the associations among Trait Emotional Intelligence (TEI), Big Five Personality Traits (BFPT) and the academic success of the students in four language skills namely reading, writing, listening and speaking in English and overall academic success in EFL university students from different majors and having one-year intensive English education. The participants of the study are randomly selected 211 university students attending the School of Foreign Languages in 2013-2014 academic year. In this study, a descriptive and quantitative method was applied. One of the instruments of the study is Schutte Emotional Intelligence Scale (1998) revised by Austin, Saklofske, Huang, and McKenney (2004). Tok, Moralı, and Tatar (2005) adapted the scale for Turkish population. The other instrument is the Short Form Five Factor Personality Inventory developed by Tatar (2005). For the data analysis, the Pearson correlation coefficient and ANOVA analyses were applied. The findings of the study show that there is a significant negative relationship between BFPT and TEI of the language learners. Also, BFPT and TEI have certain levels of correlation with academic success in language skills and with their grade point averages (GPA). However, the variable of major is insignificant in the success of language learners. In the light of the findings of this study, it can be indicated that TEI and BFPT, as individual differences, are worth taking into account in language classrooms so as to improve the academic success, and thus the quality of the language learning and teaching.
