The Influence of Emotional Intelligence in Speaking Ability
CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
A.
Background
In
teaching and learning includes several aspects that influence this process. It
is more than obvious that the student together with the teacher are the most
important ones. The way this process can be influence from the position of the
teacher. One of the several aspects that influence in speaking skill is
emotional intelligent, Marzuki, Mustaffa & Saad (2015: 2) explain that emotional intelligence is an important
element to determine student’s skills and competencies in communication and
information technology. Generally, the single entity of general intelligence
(IQ) is not a guarantee for individual success in life. It is said that
individuals possess some abilities in using emotions in order to enhance
thought effectively than others. Thus, emotional intelligence literature has
grown since then.
In
relationship between emotional intelligence Okpara and Edwin (2015: 53) explains
self-awareness
consists of emotional abilities that enable us to be more effective and form
outstanding relationships in the social interaction. Self-awareness is the ability for one to
recognize his or her emotions and their effects. Self-awareness
competencies include emotional self-awareness,
accurateself-awareness
and self-confidence.
Emotional self-awareness
is the first component of self-awareness.
This reflects the importance of recognizing one’s
own feelings and
how they affect one’s
performance. Accurate self-Assessment involves
knowing one’s inner resources,
abilities and limits. People with this competency are
aware of their
strengths and weaknesses,
reflective, learning from experience, open
to candid feedback,
new perspectives, continuous
learning and self-development. Self-confidence involves a strong sense of one’s worth and capabilities.
English
teaching and learning has the goal of focusing students so that they are able
to use English for communication and as a tool for furthering their studies. In
the process of teaching and learning, the four language skills (listening,
speaking, reading, and writing) are simultaneously performed. Normally,
learners in an EFL context do not use the language in authentic situations.
They possess inability in communicating appropriately and correctly. In foreign
language teaching and learning, ability to speak is the most essential skill
since it is the basic for communication and it is the most difficult skill. Speaking
English is the most difficult for learners (Oradee 2012:533).
Aguilera
(2012: 163)
defines speaking as a productive
skill, like writing. It involves using speech to express
other meanings to other people.
Interaction is two-way communication that involves using language and
body language to keep our listener involved in what we are saying and to check
that they understand our meaning. Examples of these interactive strategies are:
making eye contact, using facial expressions, asking check expressions,
clarifying your meaning, confirming understanding. We also speak with fluency
and accuracy. Fluency means speaking at a normal speed, without hesitation,
repetition or self-correction, and with smooth use of connected speech.
Accuracy in speaking is the use of correct forms of grammar, vocabulary and
pronunciation. When we speak, we use different aspects of speaking depending on
the type of speaking we are involved in.
Speaking is
making use of words,
knowing and being
able to use language: expressing
oneself in word, making speech, while is the ability to
do something well To get a clear idea about what is speaking proficiency, Sanchez
et al (2015: 16) defined it as understood communicative competence as a
synthesis of an underlying system of knowledge and skill needed for
communication. Furthermore, to become a proficient English as a foreign
language speaker, studying the knowledge of grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation,
intonation, etc. is not adequate but the ability to use this knowledge in order
to communicate successfully is indispensable.
However,Nesbit
(2010: 5) point out the self-awareness in an integrated self-development model
is more than just the outcome state of insight, but involves the development of
skills to consciously manage perceptual biases and emotional reactions to
feedback. Self-awareness in this sense can be considered a skill, as people
vary in their capability to manage their emotional reactions to critical
performance feedback. As with other skills, improvement in self-awareness
(accuracy and acceptance of insights), can also be developed with training.
