Evidence of Multiple Intelligences in FLES Classrooms

Learning Languages, v15 n2 p31-35 Spr 2010
According to the Theory of Multiple Intelligences of Howard Gardner, there are eight intelligences. In the present study with two FLES classes, 35 students were asked to present Spanish vocabulary to their class to link their preferences of techniques used to introduce the vocabulary to their classmates with a spectrum of their multiple intelligences. The vocabulary lists included numbers, animals, family members, and clothing. This study provides evidence of multiple intelligences in third and fourth grade students as well as possible correlations between third and fourth grade students' Spanish vocabulary manipulations and their multiple intelligences. Validity and reliability studies showed the presence of multiple intelligences in all students. Validity studies further indicated a correlation between logical intelligence and student's vocabulary manipulations. (Contains 5 figures and 3 tables.)
