This current study presents the relation between Emotional Intelligence (EQ) and students' perceptions towards speaking classes. Two questionnaires were given to the participants in order to see their EQ level and understand their views on Brain-based speaking activities. The results of the questionnaires indicated that students who have high level of EQ are more eager to attend to speaking classes and brain-based activities because they have self-esteem and manage to cooperate with others due to their social skills. On the other hand, the ones with low level of EQ do not have healthy relations with the society or confide in themselves, thus being isolated from the classroom atmosphere.
