Abstract: Emotional Intelligence (EI) has been widely recognized as a crucial determinant of academic success, particularly in domains requiring communication and interpersonal interaction. For teachers, pre-service teachers, Language fluency is fundamental to effective teaching which is influenced not only by cognitive abilities but also by emotional and psychological factors such as confidence, anxiety, and motivation. The present study aims to determine how emotional intelligence enhances the clarity, comprehension and confidence among the pre-service teachers making it a reliable predictor of language proficiency which is examined using an experimental research design. The study employed a pre-test–post-test control group design with a sample of 46 pre-service teachers, divided equally into an experimental group (n = 23) and a control group (n = 23). The participants were selected using random sampling techniques from a teacher education institution. The experimental group engaged in structured social-emotional learning activities designed to enhance self-awareness, emotional regulation, empathy, and social skills, while the control group continued with traditional academic instruction. Language fluency was assessed using a structured speaking assessment rubric measuring pronunciation, coherence, vocabulary usage, and expressive ability. Background variables such as gender, locality, medium of instruction, and academic achievement were also considered. Statistical techniques including mean, standard deviation, t-test, and ANOVA were used for data analysis. The absence of significant variation in pre-test scores indicated initial homogeneity across groups. However, post-test outcomes demonstrated that the experimental group achieved significantly higher scores than the control group. The results confirm that Emotional Intelligence training significantly enhances language fluency. Furthermore, variables such as medium of instruction and academic achievement showed significant influence, while gender and locality did not. Integrating Emotional Intelligence into teacher preparation programs is shown to be essential for fostering effective communication and advancing professional capabilities. It provides valuable insights for educators, curriculum developers, and policymakers aiming to improve language proficiency among future teachers.

Abstract: This study addresses the urgent but underexplored challenge of integrating psychological care into Haiti’s national healthcare system. Framed within a constructivist interpretive paradigm, it treats mental health beliefs as socially produced phenomena shaped by culture, history, and collective experience. We conducted an exploratory qualitative study in Haiti’s Northern Department with 30 purposively sampled participants, health professionals, patients, and community leaders, using semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions in Haitian Creole. Thematic analysis identified three principal themes: widespread, deeply rooted distrust of psychological services linked to Vodou and syncretic religious frameworks; a critical shortage of trained personnel and material resources; and an emerging, cautious shift toward acceptance of holistic, culturally grounded models of care. Findings indicate that community sensitization and cross-sector partnerships can meaningfully improve attitudes toward mental health services. By examining the specific cultural and structural dynamics of the Haitian context, this study contributes to global mental health literature and offers implications for public health policy, clinical training, and future research.
