Multiple gateways to the minds of our students: multiple intelligences in the E / LE classroom

The aim of this article is to provide practical guidance to teachers from S/FL, on the application of the theory of multiple intelligences of Howard Gardner (1983) in their didactic and theoretical dimension. To do this, we start from the idea that a didactic and methodological approach from multiple intelligences in the classroom of S/FL can offer alternative ways for teaching Spanish to help students learn and develop the best version of themselves knowing their capabilities and mitigating their limitations in learning a foreign language. It can be also useful as a complement within the communicative approach, as this implementation can serve as a guide for developing the classroom program effectively, contemplating the development of integrated skills, language skills and procedures of student learning.
