Abstract
Verbal or linguistic intelligence is one of the types of intelligence that can be vital to acquiring both spoken and written language as well as using language to accomplish goals. The study can be categorized as a survey-based correlation study that sought to examine the relationship between two variables, namely, the verbal and emotional intelligence of learners, using gender as the moderator variable to demonstrate how gender differences affect the relationships between two dependent variables. 120 intermediate EFL male and female students from the Tokat Gaziosmanpasa ELT department's relevant classes held in the fall semester of 2022 were initially chosen to participate in the study. The Bar-On Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire's domestic version's items were administered to the subjects. According to the results of the present study, there was a strong positive and significant correlation between the verbal and emotional intelligence of male learners, indicating that participants with higher emotional intelligence levels appeared to be better language users and more effective communicators.
