This article analyzes the relationship between emotional intelligence and oral expression within the context of pedagogical practices, recognizing their direct impact on the comprehensive development of students. The purpose of the study was to understand how these two dimensions’ influence students academic and socio-emotional formation, and how they can be effectively integrated into teaching practice. The methodology employed was qualitative in nature, through an exhaustive documentary review of academic literature published over the last years, with an emphasis on relevant empirical and theoretical studies. The findings show that emotional intelligence significantly enhances oral communication skills by improving emotional self-regulation, empathy, and confidence in verbal interaction.
