Multiple Intelligences Theory and the Second Language Classroom

Saturday, February 12th, 2005, 6:30 PM - 8:30 PM

Speaker: Ronald Schmidt-Fajlik

Addressing individual differences in the second language classroom is an important factor in lesson planning. Howard Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences may serve as a way to address these differences. The workshop will begin with a description of Gardner's theory. The relevance of his theory to educators will be discussed as well as ways by which students may be assessed using a survey type questionnaire. The workshop will conclude with a description of a variety of language teaching activities which may be used to address individual differences in the second language classroom based on Gardner's theory.
