Multiple Intelligences - Self Study Work For All Students

Last week we talked about the importance of finding effective learning strategies and to avoid wasting time on activities that are not right for you. One thing you could do for your self study is to take a look at the theory of Multiple Intelligences. Go to http://www.bgfl.org/bgfl/custom/resources_ftp/client_ftp/ks3/ict/multiple_int/questions/questions.cfm
and take the test. What kind of intelligence are you? What activities would be best to stimulate your learning - not only for English but also your university studies? See http://esl.about.com/od/multipleintelligences/a/Multiple-Intelligence-Activities.htm for suggestions.
