Abstract

The scarcity of previous literature that explores and studies the effect of the acquisition and development of an adequate emotional vocabulary in the scholar environment comes alongside the fact that there is no systematic emotional education programs in the scholar centres. Starting from the hypothesis that the teachers have a reduced emotional vocabulary, which is linked to the fact that students do not learn the desired level of emotional vocabulary, the present study provides information to prove this assertion, based on a questionnaire applied to 276 language teachers and 244 undergraduate students of the third year of Primary Education. Results show that there is not enough knowledge of the possibilities and potential of the emotional vocabulary. This fact highlights the importance of creating a richer emotional vocabulary both in teachers, particularly in the ones of language and education, and students.
