Incorporating Sensory Input: Idea for Teaching to Multiple Intelligences
Jen Ramos and Todd Allen - University of FL
Multiple Intelligences
Howard Gardner, 1983
Different strengths & learning styles
(Verbal, visual, bodily, musical, mathematical & more)
Language learners "stripped" of linguistic/verbal intelligence
Access other ways of knowing in ESL classroom!
Allows language learners access variety of rich material
Activate HOT
Focus on Reading and Writing or Listening and Speaking
read and produce written texts
comprehend input and produce comprehensible speech
expand your 'text' and vary stimuli
Reading
Non-verbal text
practice concepts (ex. add of book hugging woman)
main idea, thesis, supporting details, intended audience, purpose, reader response '
Engage and Evoke!
Music, paintings, sculptures, etc.
Lesson Ideas
Language Task: use everyday vocabulary and prepositions of location to describe a photo
Increase cognitive demand: a recall activity
Introduce Interference: Who lives here? What helps you make this inference?
Use the Nose!
Writing: write a compare and contrast paragraph using comparative adjectives
Speaking:
Listening
Unconventional sounds, musical compositions, and speech
Practice purpose, audience, listener, response and descriptions
Music: Evokes poetic and emotional responses
Metaphor and simile
Adjectives of mood and sentiment
Musical vocabulary
Reflection
Imagination
Many students knowledgeable about music!
Language Task: Try a free-write to music and see what students produce
Language Task: Describe a scene from a musical selection
Fingertips:
Vocab building: Texture and material words
Books provide the definition, but not the experience
Language Task: Feel objects in a bag and find vocabulary word
Language Task: Describe what you feel; direct partner to objects
Get every "body" involved!
Language Task: students act out words and concepts
abstract words (ex. allocate)
idioms (ex. rain on someone's parade)
phrasal verbs
transition words (nevertheless)
helps solidify nuanced concepts
*kinesthetic learning, total physical response
OTHER IDEAS:
buy recordings of random sounds - choose certain kinds of sounds and put them together… students have to write a play or story about it
play a sound - some computer programs have bank of sounds - describe "what is happening right now"
public service announcements - Canadian government… for writing and speaking
