After Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences Theory (MIT), some language teaching practitioners set out to teach students in a way to help their dominant intelligence(s) blossom. In an EFL context, usually teachers’ main focus is to develop communication skills. Nowadays, writing is one of the main ways by which people communicate. Thus, this study aimed at investigating possible relationship between...

Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences theory is presented as a cognitive perspective on intelligence which has profound implications for education in general. More specifically, it has led to the application of eight of these frames to language teaching and learning. In this chapter, we will argue in favour of the application of MIT to the EFL classroom, using as support some of the major insights f...

The learning of a foreign language involves the interplay of many factors concerning human intelligences. Therefore, an analysis of learners’ intelligences is of vital importance in EFL teaching and learning. This article tries to explore the feasibility of combing the basic concepts of Howard Gardner’s MI theory with the practice of college English teaching in order to develop the multiple int...

Correlational studies supporting the link between learners’ multiple intelligences and their learning are superseded by interventionist attempts to explore direct applications of Multiple Intelligence (MI) Theory in language teaching and learning. This quasi-experimental study examined the extent to which engaging ELT major university students in writing tasks, compatible to their dominant inte...

abstract the present study investigates the relationship between multiple intelligences and teaching styles of eng-lish as foreign language (efl) learners and teachers. the participants of the study included 106 efl teachers and 400 efl learners. teachers were invited to complete a multiple intelligences inventory for efl teachers, developed by christison (1998) and a thinking styles inventory ...

Learning characteristics vary for each individual learner. Research suggests that knowledge is processed and represented in different ways and that students prefer to use different types of resources in distinct ways. Adapting learning to meet the various individual differences of the students is a real challenge. Thus, the present study aimed at investigating the effect of designing an adaptiv...
