In language teaching and learning multiple intelligences is the fundamental issue. In this area Gardener is the very well expertise. Gardener, stated that multiple intelligence has its own feature as: he claims that human beings have multiple intelligences, each individual has nine intelligences in varying amount, these intelligences are located in different areas of the brain, they either work independently or together, These MI can be nurtured and strengthened or ignored & weakened, and We can improve education by addressing these multiple intelligences of our students. Using the multiple intelligences approach show that many students who perform poorly on traditional tests are turned on to learning when classroom experiences incorporate artistic, athletic, and musical activities, provide opportunities for authentic learning based on your students' needs, interests and talents it means that The multiple intelligence classroom acts like the "real" world: the author and the illustrator of a book are equally valuable creators. Activities involving apprenticeship learning bring members of the community into the learning process, Students will be able to demonstrate and share their strengths, and finally Building strengths gives a student the motivation to be a "specialists; this can in turn lead to increased self-esteem. When you "teach for understanding," your students accumulate positive educational experiences and the capability for creating solutions to problems in life.
