Abstract

Howard Gardner suggests that there are seven potential intelligences. This research paper aims to illustrate the relationship between multiple intelligences and learning process of English language. It further tells us how language aspects are learnt by using specific activities of different intelligences. In this research article, the researchers have used qualitative methods with practical activities to keenly observe student's language progress. The researchers have included activities in prepared lessons and each activity on intelligence was modelled on the essential characteristics of a particular type of intelligence. Multiple intelligence approach deviates the traditional method of teaching. This theory considers the GTM as an outdated method of educational system because it does not address the required needs, desires and interests of the students of modern era.
