The aim of this study, find the relationship between Iranian EFL learners’ use of computer
assisted language learning (CALL) and the degree of involved emotional intelligence. To
this end, 150 EFL learners were selected as participants from four English language
institutes in Shiraz, Iran. To collect data, standard questionnaire for EQ level (Bradberry &
Greaves, 2004), and standard language test (TOEFL) were used. The participants took part
in TOEFL pre and post-tests after undergoing instruction through CALL. Collect data was
analyzed via Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 22. According to analyze
data, ANOVA test was used to show differences. The results showed that Iranian EFL
learners’ with high and middle scores in emotional intelligence test performed better in the
proficiency test of TOEFL as post-test and no difference was observed between scores of
TOEFL pre and post-tests in Iranian EFL learner's with low scores of emotional
intelligences. Thus, CALL has proved to be useful at least for two of the EQ groups.
Accordingly, EFL teachers and educators need to take into account factors and tools such as
computers and software and programs to help learners improve language learning.
