Combining the Internet and Multiple Intelligences to Teach EFL in the Fifth Grade at “AbdónCalderón” Elementary School

Abstract

Combining the Internet and the Multiple Intelligences Theory to teach EFL at “AbdónCalderón” Elementary School is about the usage of the activities available on the Internet in order to design a lesson plan based on the principles of Multiple Intelligences Theory. The methodology used for this monographic work was based on an active research because we collected and analyzed bibliographic material to support the application of this approach. On the other hand, the field research was conducted through an interview. In addition to that, we applied a survey to twenty school teachers in “AbdónCalderón” Elementary School. All of these were conducted to have the enough bases developing this investigation. After analyzing this work we conclude that educators should design a lesson plan which promotes the development of Multiple Intelligences since each human being is different. The only thing that teachers need is decision, creativity and the most important they need to leave behind their own paradigms.
