Multiple Intelligences as Strategy for Teaching EFL to high school graduates

Conclusions

1.Multiple Intelligences are used as strategy for TEFL.

2.According to the structure there are seven intelligences:

Logical-Mathematical Intelligence,

Linguistic Intelligence,

Spatial Intelligence,

Musical Intelligence,

Bodily-Kinesthetic Intelligence,

The Personal Intelligence,

Intrapersonal Intelligence.

3.With the help of these Intelligences we can teach English.

4.According to Howard Gardner's theory there are such principles:

1.Intelligence is not singular: intelligences are multiple.

2.Every person is a unique blend of dynamic intelligences.

3.Intelligences vary in development, both within and among individuals.

4.All intelligences are dynamic.

5.Multiple intelligences can be identified and described.

6.Every person deserve opportunities to recognize and develop the multiplicity of intelligences.

7.The use of one of the intelligences can be used to enhance another intelligence.

8.Personal background density and dispersion are critical to knowledge, beliefs, and skills in all intelligences.

9.All intelligences provide alternate resources and potential capacities to become more human, regardless of age or circumstance.

10.A pure intelligence is rarely seen.

11.Developmental theory applies to the theory of multiple intelligences.

I have sketched the background and the major claims of a new

approach to the conceptualization and assessment of human intelligence. Put forth in 1983, the theory of multiple intelligences has inspired a number of research-and-development projects that are taking place in schools ranging from preschool through high school. Until now, our focus has fallen largely on the development of instruments that can assess strengths and weaknesses in an "intelligence-fair" way.
