This Master’s thesis tries to develop emotional intelligence in the ELE class through poetry since literary texts intent to transmit and to perceive emotions. The theoretical part of the thesis outlines the connection between emotions, language and learning, explains the concept of emotional intelligence and presents competencies in the field of emotional learning. In addition, it focuses on the affective factors in the ELE class and takes into account poetry and emotions in preparing the lesson. The analysis of online didactic activities for ELE teachers shows that poetic texts are used to achieve different linguistic and cultural learning goals without developing emotional competencies. Therefore, this Master’s thesis offers three didactic proposals for language levels A1-A2, B1-B2 and C1-C2 that use poetry to develop student’s emotional competencies and language skills. All proposals are equipped with a didactic explanation which indicates the emotional competencies in development.
