Overview

Correlational study reveals a moderate link between multiple intelligence profiles and speaking scores in university language learners, highlighting the importance of tailoring oral instruction.

Key Points

  • To examine the relationship between multiple intelligence profiles and English foreign language speaking achievement among undergraduate university students.
  • Conducted a correlational study of N=50 undergraduate EFL students purposively sampled from Hawassa and Madda Walabu Universities in Ethiopia.
  • Gathered data via a multiple intelligence inventory survey and analyzed speaking achievement from teacher-submitted academic course grades.
  • Evaluated relationships using descriptive statistics and Chi-square tests of independence.
  • Bodily-kinesthetic and visual-spatial intelligences were identified as the most prevalent intelligence profiles among the participating students.
  • Predominant multiple intelligence types showed a statistically significant moderate correlation with speaking achievement: χ2(21, N = 50) = 34.07, p = 0.036, with Cramer’s V = 0.48.
