Abstract This study aimed at enhancing primary school pupils’ EFL writing skills and their motivation towards writing through using internet based linguistic intelligence activities. To fulfill this purpose, four instruments were constructed: a writing skills questionnaire to determine the necessary writing skills for 6th grade primary stage pupils, a pre – post writing test to assess EFL pupils’ writing skills before and after the study intervention, a writing rubric for assessing and scoring the EFL writing skills included in the writing test and a writing motivation scale to assess EFL pupils’ motivation towards writing. The validity and reliability of the study instruments were established before their administration. The participants of the study were 60 pupils selected from the sixth grade primary stage pupils at Mansoura College International Language Schools. The experimental group pupils were taught through the proposed internet based linguistic intelligence activities while the control group pupils studied through the regular instructional activities. Results of the study revealed that the experimental group pupils’ EFL writing skills and their motivation towards writing were significantly enhanced. It was recommended that linguistic intelligence activities should be used in EFL teaching to enhance writing skills and other language skills. In addition, EFL learners should be provided with writing courses in which internet based linguistic intelligence activities are employed.Key word : ( not more than ten ):-Writing Skills, Motivation, Multiple Intelligence, Linguistic Intelligence Activities, Internet based learning. |
