MULTIPLE INTELIGENCES

MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCES

 Intelligence is the human capacity to think, understand and produce something with their thoughts. All human beings have a different capacity to think and understand, of course. Their capacity can be associated with multiple-intelligences which are divided into seven particul categories: Logical/mathematical, visual/spatial, body/kinesthetic, musical/rytmic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, verbal/linguistic intelligences. This categorazion is really useful for effective learning. It has possitive effects in learning a second language too. How can the language teacher teach the target language to his students by using multiple-intelligence? The teacher should be aware of his students capacity, If the students have struggle with learning the target language, what the teacher should do is to identify how the majority of his class can learn easly. This can be possible by applying the multiple-intelligences tests to the students.The teacher should teach by the way the students learn, not the way he likes. After he identify his students way, he should evaluate the results and develop a new teaching way accordance with some of the multiple-intelligences. This is all about problem based. The teacher should be aware of the students learning problems and produce a solutions for them.
