A REALIZATION OF STUDENTS’ MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCES IN THEIR VOCABULARY ACQUISITION

Abstract

This article explores on students’ multiple intelligences in their vocabulary acquisition. All people have multiple intelligences. These can be enriched, weakened, or even underestimated. The style of students’ vocabulary acquisition were affected by multiple intelligences and vocabulary learning strategies (VLS). Nevertheless, most students were not aware of their intelligence. This research investigated the strategies of each student’s intelligence to gain their vocabulary and most frequently used vocabulary learning strategies by male and female students. This research employed a descriptive qualitative study by means of two data collection techniques. They were questionnaire and interview. There were 13 respondents. It was concluded that every human being has their own ways of daily learning and intelligence to an extent but only intelligence which is more dominant. Multiple intelligence is not the same with learning style. The present study explored how the students possess their own style to achieve the vocabulary no matter they have same intelligence. Thus, the researcher provides suggests that the other researcher utilizes vocabulary test to find out any intelligence as the best predictor in vocabulary learning and any category in vocabulary learning strategies.
