Our monthly workshop for May will feature a presentation on Multiple Intelligences by Ted Mishler. Dr. Howard Gardner, a professor of education at Harvard University, developed the theory of multiple intelligences in 1983, and many books and articles have been written on how, and what, to teach in the M.I. classroom. Unfortunately, there is not that much literature available on the ESL classroom, but there are many exercises and activities that can be done in the ESL classroom, based on each of the intelligences in Dr. Gardner’s theory, and in this presentation Ted will show where the ESL teacher can start if he/she decides to incorporate M.I. into the classroom. "I have been sharing my ideas of M.I. in the ESL classroom for a while now, and hope that you learn something new and incorporate some of what you learned or liked in your classroom."
