Hsin-Yi Huang

Abstract


This study analyzes the relations between foreign language learners’ multiple intelligences (MI) and foreign language learning. A quasi-experimental design was applied for the study. The following were the findings after the analysis of the collected research data: female learners show more preference to languages than male learners; linguistic intelligence, bodily-kinesthetic intelligence, and musical intelligence are positively related. Based on the research results, the study provides suggestions to instructors, learners, and researchers for future language learning courses and research.
