The present study investigated the possible relationships between multiple intelligences, critical thinking and language proficiency level of Iranian English as Foreign Language (EFL) learners. The participants of the study included 117 intermediate young - adult EFL learners from ILI language i n- st i tute in Tehran, Iran. The participants were invited to complete MIDAS and Critical thinking ...

the present study was an attempt, in the first place, to find out whether there is any relationship between iranian efl learners' multiple intelligences and their language proficiency. the second objective was to explore whether one of intelligences or combination of intelligences are predictors of language proficiency. to this end, 228 subjects of this study were chosen from among 280 eng...

multiple intelligences (mi), second/foreign (l2) proficiency and gender are postulated to contribute to language learning strategies (lls). this study, first, examined whether there was any relationship between iranian efl learners’ lls, on the one hand, and their mi, l2 proficiency, on the other hand. in so doing, it explored the relationship of the overall l2 strategy as well as individual st...

abstract controversy has not been yet resolved among l2 researchers as how to enhance higher-order thinking skills (hotss) in efl contexts. responding to the growing need to foster thinking skills, many l2 educators have recently attempted to investigate the effect of diverse teaching strategies on hots. yet, few studies have focused on the infusion of gardner’s (1999) theory of multiple intell...

Nowadays, in line with trends in language teaching that follow the use of student-centered teaching/testing activities, there is growing consensus that students differ in their multiple intelligences. Furthermore, self-efficacy is one of the determining factors of success for people almost in any context. Assuming that the multiple intelligences profiles in tandem with self-efficacy of teachers...

Abstract Controversy has not been yet resolved among L2 researchers as how to enhance higher-order thinking skills (HOTSs) in EFL contexts. Responding to the growing need to foster thinking skills, many L2 educators have recently attempted to investigate the effect of diverse teaching strategies on HOTS. Yet, few studies have focused on the infusion of Gardner’s (1999) theory of multiple intell...

This study aimed to investigate the impact of an instructional program based on Multiple Intelligences Theory motivation among ninth grade students in Amman during academic year 2021-2022. The sample consisted 40 two sections who were randomly assigned a control group (20 students) and experimental students). To achieve purpose study, researchers developed questionnaire for data collection. Dat...

Robust gender effect has been reported in Multiple Intelligences (MI)-EFL studies across cultures. Nevertheless, research results vary in effect size, Intelligence type, overall estimation etc. The variance is mainly explained in terms of socio-cultural factors. However, although manifold MI inventories and scales are used in studies, the role of the MI-test type in creating variance has not be...
