1.1 Purpose and significance of the research

In China,for a long time,the focus of English teaching is put on teaching and testing student’s linguistic intelligence,while many other kinds of intelligence are ignored.In classroom teaching,teachers prefer to adopting teacher-centered teaching methods, spoon-feeding English grammar,words and sentences to students.For most teaching plan,the priority is always www.51lunwen.com given to training of student’s knowledge on language,while the individual difference between students,triggering and cultivating of student’s learning interest are easy to ignore.

For second language acquisition,many factors may affect the teaching effect,such as classroom atmosphere,learning styles and students'learning strategies,teaching style and idea of the teacher as well as the interaction between the teacher and students,etc.However, it is more obvious,from many researches on language acquisition,that the learners play a decisive role in affecting the final learning results.There is no exception that a successful education should fully take the individual characters of learning subjects into account.

Therefore,teachers should adjust their own role in teaching,change the traditional education ideas and modes,take individual differences into account,and flexibly apply various teaching methods.It is consistent with the teaching modes and concept of curriculum design proposed in multiple intelligence theory(MIT).MIT put forward the possibility of individualized education,emphasized that teaching should be applied in various ways according to students’individual differences and their different learning methods.On the one hand,it is helpful to enhance the insufficient intelligence of students;on the other hand,every student can get the chance to give play to their own dominant intelligence while learning.
