With the diverse identities and backgrounds of learners, teachers are more often subjected to deal with different emotions and outlooks in life. The growing pressure on teachers’ work and personal life would need a great emotional intelligence. I involved nine (9) public school teachers in Catalunan Pequeno National High School who are teaching junior high school learners. I categorized these participants into two groups: six (6) for in-depth interviews, and the remaining three (3) for focus group discussion. I utilized the phenomenological approach to collect authentic experiences from the participants. This research revealed the role of emotional intelligence in English language teaching, focusing on essential themes like managing classroom behavior, modeling emotional regulation, and supports differentiated and student-centered teaching. It explored on how teachers’ emotional intelligence impacts their students in the learning process. The result revealed that teachers’ awareness and knowledge of their emotions impacted students’ motivation, classroom management, and students’ attitudes towards learning English. These themes were essential to provide insights into how teachers perceived their emotions, react to students’ behavior, cope with varied challenges, and how they see the importance of the roles of emotional intelligence.
