Abstract The purpose of the study was two folds: first of them is a multiple intelligences-informed program to investigate on the multiple intelligences in a reading program to EFL preparatory students. Second is the relationship between the participants’ reading comprehension skills and their multiple intelligences profiles. This study adopted a quasi-experimental design. Two groups are an experimental group using MI-informed activities and a control group using the prescribed course activities over one semester. The two groups of forty preparatory students – at Al Sayda Khadega school in Helwan- were equally assigned into a control and experimental groups. The experimental group received the multiple intelligences-informed program that focused on reading comprehension but The control group studied their prescribed English course.The study found that there were significant statistical differences between the mean scores of the experimental and control groups on the post reading comprehension tests in favor of those of the experimental group. The findings of this study did not support the hypothesis that has suggested the relationship between the participants’ multiple intelligence profiles and the participants’ reading comprehension. In addition, there was not significant difference between the MI rank order of the pre and post Multiple Intelligences Survey (MIS) of the experimental group. |
