Dr. Smt Rashmi I. Kadlimatti

Abstract :

The theory of Multiple Intelligence 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 oader range of human potential in children and adults. “It suggests that traditional ways of testing for intelligence may be biased to certain types of individuals. According to Gardner,”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? ” so on the basis of using this theory how a language teacher can teach his concept with effective way that has been enlightened in this paper.
