This study explores the application of Howard Gardner’s Theory of Multiple Intelligences (MI) in English Language Teaching (ELT), emphasizing innovative approaches to address diverse learning styles and cognitive strengths. It aims to bridge the gap between MI theory and practical teaching methodologies, providing evidence-based strategies for improving student engagement, motivation, and language proficiency. The research employs a mixed-methods design, integrating quantitative assessments with qualitative feedback to evaluate the impact of MI-based teaching methods on students' speaking, writing, listening, and reading skills. Findings demonstrate significant improvements across all skills, with notable gains in speaking and writing, as well as enhanced student engagement and alignment of teaching methods with individual learning preferences. This study provides a comprehensive framework for educators seeking to incorporate MI theory into their classrooms, highlighting the importance of personalized learning pathways and technology integration to foster inclusive and effective language learning environments.
