Opis

The book reveals an experience based on a methodological intervention with regular learners. Communicative activities are exemplified to enhance the verbal linguistic, kinesthetic, musical, intrapersonal and interpersonal intelligences. The research was carried out in Santiago de Cuba, where the educative programs allow the students to share impartial opportunities to think, do and create learning situations in foreign language. It includes professional orientations in the exploratory, projective, executive and evaluative stages. They propitiate the identification of the learners´ intelligences; planning and execution of inclusive activities and assessing of results to deepen into the students´ inclusiveness and diversity. Pedagogical and linguistic tests were applied to verify the students´ linguistic insufficiencies. The instruments show the verbal linguistic and other intelligences in 6th graders. Findings point out the progress made by slow learners, who became average, whereas average learners became advantageous. There is also a positive transformation in the cognitive, linguistic and social behavior of the learners.
