Teaching English Using The Internet And Multiple Intelligences Approach PDF Download

Teaching English as a foreign language is a task that demands from teachers much creativity in order to teach the language in a real context. Currently, there are different approaches and theories that help teachers guide their teaching processes in the classroom; one of the most popular theories in the recent years is the theory of Multiple Intelligence. This theory was proposed by Howard Gardner in 1983. He provided the educational field with a new concept of intelligence and how it should be implemented and fostered in class according to each student's skills and intelligences. The final product of this project is the creation of eight lesson plans that foster and develop ELL students' intelligences in the classroom. These lesson plans provide teachers with different ideas and resources that are useful to develop language skills considering students' abilities. Since all learners have different interests and different motivations, these lesson plans present new teaching strategies to implement in the classroom in order to engage students in a real learning environment. Furthermore, these lesson plans allow teachers to expand their creativity to innovate their teaching process in the classroom since one lesson can be covered in multiple ways by applying the Multiple Intelligence theory.
