The relationship between multiple intelligences and reading proficiency of ir...James Cook University
Hajhashemi, K., Akef, K., & Anderson, N. (2012). The Relationship between Multiple Intelligences and Reading Proficiency of Iranian EFL Students. World Applied Science Journal (WASJ) 19(10), 1475-1483.
Abstract: The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between multiple intelligences (MI) and reading proficiency of Iranian EFL pre-university students and to look into the role that gender plays. To find out the relationships among the naturally occurring variables, the researcher employed a descriptive and ex post facto design. The participants were 128 randomly selected pre-university students. The researcher utilized three instruments, namely: 1) a demographic questionnaire; 2) the Persian version of Mckenzie’s MI Inventory; and 3) a standardized reading proficiency test retrieved from paper-based TOEFL® tests. Analyzing the data using t-test, it was found that there was a statistically significant difference in the mean of musical-rhythmic intelligence scores of the low achievers and the high achievers which was positive and stronger among the low achievers. Accordingly, it seems that the high achievers may have lower musical intelligence, which also indicates that better readers may be less intelligent ‘musically’. A statistically significant difference was also found between the mean bodily-kinesthetic intelligence scores of the two genders which was positive and stronger among the females. No significant difference was found between the male and female students in their reading proficiency scores.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2. A child acquires his MT to which he is exposed and for that no formal
teaching is required but learning a FL or L2 requires a formal teaching
in a formal setting because of this reason teaching of FL has been a
topic of heated discussion ,and researchers and educationists
presented different theories of learning and methods of teaching. The
present study is related to one of these language learning theories i.e.
Multiple intelligence presented by Sir Howard Gardner()The researcher
aims to find out how MI theory can be of help to a FL teacher who has
to deal with a number of students having different linguistic and other
backgrounds in a classroom situation. The study is a try to make it
clear to understand what MI is and what are its implications. The study
along with explaining the multiple intelligences at work in different
individuals also discusses the key features, principles and applications
for MI for a better teaching and learning of L2.Finally there are certain
recommendations for teachers ,learners ,parents ,syllabus designers
and policy makers for the better utilization of human resources with
their different mental abilities to make them successful and beneficial
individuals in their respective fields.

3. Human beings are the social animals. They need to communicate with each other and
language is the basic tool used for it. So a child acquires the language spoken around him
in a natural way without going to school or attending any regular classes.
However, with the development of science and growth of societies, the world became a
global village and the need, desirability and demand of learning foreign languages grew.
So teaching and learning of different foreign languages at different times became a matter
of concern for educationists.
As teaching and learning of a FL is quite different from that of the MT , so history of
language teaching is replete with diverse ideas, approaches , theories and methods.
The history of language teaching has been characterized by a search for more effective
ways of teaching second or foreign languages.
60 percent of today’s world population is estimated to be multilingual. From both a
contemporary and a historical perspective ,multilingualism is the norm rather then the
exception. So foreign language teaching and learning holds great importance.
Although much has been done to find the answers to important questions in language
teaching , the teaching profession is continually exploring new options for making this
process more effective and fruitful.

5. Throughout history foreign language teaching has always been an important practical concern.
The question how to teach foreign language has been a matter of great discussion. Changes in
language teaching methods have reflected recognition of:
Changes in the kind of proficiency learners need
Changes in theories of the nature of language and of language learning.
The history of language teaching saw the rise and fall of a variety of language teaching
approaches and methods.
Once Latin was dominant language of education ,commerce, religion ,and government in the
Western world.
In the sixteenth century ,however, French ,Italian , and English gained importance.
The procedure of classical Latin teaching became the model for foreign language study from
the seventeenth to the nineteenth centuries.(GTM 1840s to 1940s)
In the mid and late nineteenth century ,new approaches to language teaching were
developed by C. Marcel,T.Prendergast and F.Gouin.
From the 1880s,Henry Sweet , wilhelm Vietor , paul Passy gave new ideas( Reform
movement)Phonetics was established,IPA was founded .the contribution of these linguists
reflected the beginning of the applied linguistics. This movement also led to natural methods
and the Direct Method.
The most active period was from the 1950s to the 1980s
The 1950s and the 1960s : The Audio Lingual Method , the Situational Method ,

8. “The theory of multiple intelligences was developed in 1983 by
Dr. Howard Gardner, professor of education at Harvard
University.It suggests that the traditional notion of intelligence,
based on I.Q. testing, is far too limited. Instead, Dr. Gardner
proposes eight different intelligences to account for a broader
range of human potential in children and adults.”
Howard Gardner defines intelligence as "the capacity to solve problems or
to fashion products that are valued in one or more cultural setting"
(Gardner & Hatch, 1989).
According to Gardner, 8 different types of intelligence are
displayed by humans

21. Approach:
MI theory was proposed by Gardner(1993)as a contribution to cognitive
science.
It was interpreted as a framework for rethinking school education be
educators like Armstrong(1994)
It looks at language of an individual , including one or more second
languages.
Language is central to the whole life of the language learner and user.
Language is not seen as limited to linguistics perspectives but
encompasses all aspects of communication so it is held to be
integrated with music , bodily activity , interpersonal relations and so
on.
Language learning is closely linked to linguistic intelligences which
enrich the tapestry of communication we call language.
Language has its ties to life through senses . A multisensory view of
language provides the accompaniment and context for the linguistic
message that give it meaning and purpose.
21Multiple Intelligences
22. Goal:
It aims at making the language learner a better designer of his/her own learning experience.
Syllabus:
No syllabus prescribed in MI-based language teaching. However ,a basic developmental sequence is
proposed(Lazear1991) that consists of four stages:
o Awaken the intelligence(through multisensory experience of objects and events)
o Amplify the intelligence(through choosing and defining with others this experience)
o Teach with/for the intelligence(intelligence is related to some aspect of language learning)
o Transfer of the intelligence(experience is related to out-of-class world)
Activities:
o Eight self –access activity corners
o Individual /pair work
o Projects listed by Nicholson-Nelson:
• Multiple intelligence projects: based on one or more of the intelligences to stimulate those intelligences.
• Curriculum-based projects : based on curriculum content areas but categorized according to particular
intelligence
• Thematic-based projects : based on a theme from curriculum but divided into different intelligences
• Resource based projects : designed to provide students with opportunities to research a topic using multiple
intelligences
• Student choice projects : designed by students and draw on particular intelligence
22Multiple Intelligences
23. MI Teacher :
o Is to consider to what extent and in what way MI theory can be applied in an individual
teaching situation within the realistic constraints of objectives , nature of students ,time ,
space and resources of the classroom.
o Is not only improving second language abilities of his students but contributes to the overall
development of students intelligences.
o Is to create his own MI profile for using it as a guide to designing and reflecting upon his
experience.
o Is curriculum developer , lesson designer and analyst, activity finder or inventor.
MI Learner:
o Is engaged in a process of personality development
o Is a successful language learner with development of the ‘whole person’
o Is more well -rounded individual with the awareness of his own intelligence and its
working
o Is in a better position to benefit from instructional approaches and classroom

27Multiple Intelligences
28. It provides eight different potential pathways to learning.
When teaching through the more traditional linguistic or logical ways
of instruction, a teacher faces difficulty reaching a student, the theory
of multiple intelligences suggests several other ways in which the
material might be presented to facilitate effective learning. Whatever
is being taught or learnt, it can be connected with different levels
and interests of learners. Classroom activities frequently activate and
utilize more than one of the multiple intelligences.
Although the intelligences are anatomically separated from each
other, Gardner claims that the eight intelligences very rarely operate
independently rather; the intelligences are used concurrently and
typically complement each other as individuals develop skills or solve
problems.
For example, a dancer can excel in his art only if he/she has
Strong musical intelligence to understand the rhythm and variations
of the music
Bodily-kinesthetic intelligence to provide him with the agility and
coordination to complete the movements successfully
Interpersonal intelligence to understand how he can inspire or

Helps “explain and promote understanding” (Owen)
Helps promote self-motivation in students because learning is based on innate talents
Validates teacher insights into their students
Educators find the theory useful for a variety of reasons:
MI fits with existing philosophies and practices
MI validates what teachers / tutors already know and do
MI provides a framework for thinking about practice
MI helps teachers to extend their practice
MI provides a vocabulary ... for self-reflection and ... collegial discussion
MI promotes or justifies education in diverse art forms
MI offer a greater variety of learning activities
MI-based lessons use content and approaches that are meaningful to study
MI-informed learning activities increase student initiative and control over the content or
direction of the activities and they this become better learners
MI obliges teachers to be far more inventive in their teaching as they search for and
develop methodologies that will allow all intelligences to shine in the learning experience
MI gives the students the freedom to explore and construct knowledge and understanding,
beginning with their own strengths.
31Multiple Intelligences
32. There is no “right way” to apply MI theory, because it is a
descriptive theory, not a pedagogical framework. But for
many educators, the theory confirms what they have
always believed: that students possess a range of
abilities that school neither acknowledges nor develops.
So educators accepted the challenge of creating
applications for MI.
32Multiple Intelligences
33. MI helps in understanding the nature ,process , time period and factors involved
in better learning.
MI helps to Study the inner workings of the brain, thus opening a vast frontier
of knowledge on human cognition.
Intelligence and learning are multi-dimensional.
Learning is a life long process , throughout our lives, we are capable of growing
new connections between neurons, and these connections create learning and
memory.
Mi based activities help in better learning as these are in accordance with the
factors involved in learning like:
◦ Such activities increase motivation to learn as these match and develop the
specific talent
Emotions and feelings are involved in learning new material and `
performing new task.
Such activities involve a variety and interest of the students

,their plus points and their abilities
Understanding the objectives and aims of their

40. Our schools and culture focus most of their attention
on linguistic and logical-mathematical intelligence.
We esteem the highly articulate or logical people of
our culture.
Our policy makers , syllabus designers ,examiners ,
teachers and students all focus on intelligence. Our
examination system is writing oriented and it doesn’t
offer a scope for multiple intelligences.

41. Education policy makers are to make policies keeping in mind
how to utilize the maximum of the human resources in form of the
students who bring with them multiple intelligences. They should
make such policies that the field of education and teaching produce
the individuals for different other fields with certain aspects of
personality and certain skills developed in them.
Syllabus designers and examiners are to be responsible enough
to give an exposure to all kinds of the students to develop and learn
the language through the most suitable and interesting way. A
balanced syllabus is that which satisfies the demands and needs of
all the students on one hand and on the other it gives a teacher a
chance and opportunity to focus on all the students with a variety of
material and activities.
Parents, who are in a position to understand MI theory, realize the
importance of the capability and aptitude of their children. They
should let their children go to the fields which are appropriate for
them. But first right judgment is to be done.
41Multiple Intelligences
42. Teachers should recognize that students bring with them specific
and unique strengths which should be taken into account in
classroom situations. Equal attention should be paid on individuals
who show gifts in intelligences other than linguistic and
mathematical.
Teachers are to be trained to present their lessons in a wide
variety of ways using music, cooperative learning, art activities, role
play, multimedia, field trips, inner reflection, and much more.
Teachers can have explicit educational goals but they should be
willing and able to approach them by multiple means keeping in
mind multiple intelligences. So that their students are provided with
different ‘entry points’ to learning and given an opportunity to
demonstrate their abilities.
Teacher should try to address each student’s mind as directly
and personally as possible and try to identify the activities that they
frequently use in their classes and categorize them to see which
ones help develop which types of students’ intelligences
Multiple Intelligences 42
43. MI refers to a learner based philosophy.
It holds that learners’ intelligence is having multiple dimensions that they are
different with their individual learning styles, preferences or intelligences.
It suggests that pedagogy can be fruitful and successful when these differences
are acknowledged , analyzed for particular groups of learners and are
accommodated in teaching.
This MI Model is one of a variety of learning style models that can be applied to
language education.
Teachers can make their teaching effective, Interesting, fruitful and practical, if
they manage the classroom activities keeping in mind these differences,
individual strengths and interests of their students.
MI theory offers ESL/EFL teachers a way to examine their best teaching
techniques and strategies in light of human differences.
Teachers’ language-learning materials affect the multiple intelligence profiles of
their students.

46. Everyone has all eight of them.
There are many ways to be “smart” in any one
intelligence.
They are not often isolated and usually work
together.
With work, most people can become reasonably
competent in all intelligence.
47. “Successful education does not require covering
everything ‘from Plato to NATO.’ In fact, the
greatest enemy of understanding is coverage. If
we try to cover everything, by the end of the day
people will have learned very little and will have
understood nothing. As a teacher, ask yourself,
‘If I had one hour (per semester) to teach students,
what would I teach them?’”(Gardner)
