Nurturing students'intellectual diversity through Multiple Intelligences Theory-based activities

Abstract

This article explores the diversification of foreign language teaching activities through the lens of Howard Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences Theory (MIT), emphasizing its implications for language instruction. The study aims to clarify the key principles of MIT, its educational applications, and practical methods for implementing it in English language teaching. These approaches include instructional strategies and classroom activities designed to align with learners’ distinct cognitive profiles. To enhance the effectiveness of teaching and learning specialized English, educators should adapt their pedagogical methods and activity structures to nurture students’ intellectual diversity.
