[eng] Motivation is they key for learning development and the starting point for an
education based on quality and respect between teachers and students. Hence,
it must be taken into account in every school so as to awake every child’s
interest in learning. This fact emphasises the call for action at schools in the use
of teacher’s motivational strategies and attitudes to obtain learning success.
Thus, the present term paper reports how students can be engaged in an EFL
context through Howard Gardner’s innovative theory of the multiple
intelligences, and attempts to encourage EFL teachers that students have
different learning styles that can be covered through activities which are not
only based on books but also seek to develop children’s creativity by the use of
multiple intelligences. Furthermore, it provides examples of how traditional and
innovative teaching can perfectly go hand in hand and create an excellent
combination in any classroom.
