Multiple Intelligences
Multiple intelligences refers to a learner-based philosophy that characterizes
human intelligence as having multiple dimensions that must be acknowledged
and developed in education.
MI is based on the work of Howard Gardner of the Harvard Graduate School of
Education.
MI thus belong to a group of instructional perspectives that focus on differences
between learner an the need to recognize learner differences in teaching

Approach: Theory of language and language learning
MI theory was originally proposed by Gardner (1993) as a contribution to cognitive science. Fairly early on, it was interpreted by some general educators, such as Armstrong (1994), as a framework for rethinking school educations.
In the Gardner view, there exists cluster of mental abilities that are separate but equal and that share the pinnacle at the top of the hierarchy called intelligence – thus, the eight Multiple Intelligences that Gardner has described.

Design: Objective, syllabus, learning activities, roles of learners, teachers and materials
There are no goals stated for MI instruction in linguistic terms.
Such a learner is both better empowered and more fulfilled than a learner
in traditional classrooms. A more goal – directed learner and happier
person is held to be a likely candidate for being a better second language
learner and user.
Also, there is no syllabus as such, either prescribed or recommended, in
respect to MI – based language teaching.

Lazear has been proposed the four stage as a type of syllabus:
Stage 1: awaken the Intelligence
Stage 2: amplify the intelligence.
Stage 3: teach with/for the Intelligence
Stage 4: transfer of
the Intelligence

Nicholson-Nelson (1998-73) describes how MI can be used to individualize learning through project work. She
lists five types of projects:
1. Multiple intelligences projects
2. Curriculum-based projects
4. Thematic-based projects
5. Resource-based projects
3. Student-choice projects

The following list summarizes several of the alternative views as to how the MI model can
be used to serve the needs of language learners within a classroom setting:
Play to strength
Variety is the spice
Pick a tool to suit the job
All sizes fit one
Me and my people

Conclusion
Multiple Intelligences is an increasingly popular approach to characterizing the ways
in which learners are unique and to developing instruction to respond to this
uniqueness.
