Multiple intelligences

Do you already know what the multiple intelligences are?

Inteligencias multiples on Prezi

Teaching must recognise the diversity of intelligences 

and abilities within the classroom. 

Presentation and practice of contents should engage all or most of the intelligences. Thus, students will be able to develop all their intelligences.

In addition, teachers should become aware of their students’ “intelligence profile” (through on-going assessment, intensive interaction, observation, gathering and analysis of tasks, etc.) and thus, they should try to develop all the intelligences of their students and improve the learning, in this case, of a foreign language.

We suggest some websites to improve the different intelligences and learn English at the same time. What do you think about them?
