It was established that high emotional intelligence has a positive effect on dialogic speech (r=0.832, p≤0.01) and focus on the interlocutor (r=0.835, p≤0.01). Students with developed emotional intelligence have ease in establishing communicative relationships (r=0.867, р≤0.01), a wide range of communicative programmes (r=0.745, р≤0.01), high speech activity (r=0.640, р ≤0.01), emotional stability and confidence in communication (r=0.856, p≤0.01).
