Application of MI theory to a law classroom

Abstract

ELT in India is vivid and dynamic today. The total teaching paradigm has changed through spell by spell. In order to address the need for different teaching strategies, we must first realize there are different learning styles for different class students. Howard Gardner, the American Psychologist, was aware of this when he developed his remarkable theory of Multiple Intelligence. This article traces how Multiple Intelligence (MI) theory touches off a wave of educational innovation in a law classroom. Being an English Language teacher in a Law College, I find the basic concepts of MI theory conform to my interest in “individualized instruction” and “independent learning”.
