Week 9 : Learning styles in the classroom.

I have read the article“Technology and Multiple Intelligences” and really liked it, especially the part that mentions“series of common questions about Howard Gardner's Multiple Intelligences”Concept to Classroom: Multiple Intelligences.

Gardner Argues that humans have these intelligences, but people differ in the strengths and combinations of intelligences. He believes that all of them can be enhanced through training and practice. Multiple Intelligences (MI) thus belongs to a group of instructional perspectives that focus on differences between learners and the need to recognize learners’ differences in teaching.Gardner (1993) proposed a view of natural human talents.

I have also read some extra information about Multiple Intelligences, in the book “Approaches and Methods in Language teaching” by Jack C. Richards and Theodore S. Rodgers; Multiple Intelligence refers to a leaner-based philosophy that characterizes human intelligence as having multiple dimensions that must be acknowledged and developed in education. They also claimed that learners are viewed as possessing individual learning styles, preferences or intelligences.

In my opinion, learning styles differences between students which influence their attitude to learning a language and how they learn it, these differences influence how they respond to different reaching styles and Approaches in the class and how successful they are when learning a language, the differences include motivation, personality, language level, learning styles, learning strategies, age and past language learning experience.
