The objective of this research is to identify the effects of creative process (CP) in the Create-EMO module on students’ emotional intelligence (EI) in the teaching and learning of KOMSAS drama, an arts literature component of the Malay Language subject in Malaysian secondary school. Teaching and learning activities in this module were based on the creative process (CP) proposed by (Wallas, 1926). Students’ EI level was identified based on Goleman's (1995) four components EI: self-awareness (SA), self-management (SM), social awareness (SO) and social skills (SS). A quasi-experimental research method was used to assess the level of EI among students before and after using the Create-EMO module in KOMSAS drama. The students involved were 191 secondary school students in Petaling Utama, Selangor, Malaysia and they have been selected by stratified random sampling. Findings showed that the students' EI scores increased after the use of Create-EMO and all four EI components were significant. It is evident in the results that CP activities in the teaching and learning of KOMSAS drama have the potential to improve students' EI. Therefore, it is recommended that CP be introduced in the teaching and learning of any subject in secondary school because it is conceivable to impact students' EI.
