Word smart - linguistic intelligence


So here we start with the different intelligences. I have chosen to begin with the linguistic intelligence because it is the one which I think most people will relate to. In the OET course we have to be quite word smart and many of us are indeed language teachers. You may be interested in a description of linguisitc intelligences .
Or perhaps a list of the criteria which a word smart person may at least partly fulfil. Or maybe you'd like to begin with a simple test to find out how developed your intelligences are. There are also tips for teachers, including how to use technology! And finally I offer you here a further link to a teacher's site with further links to sites which focus on enhancing and developing this intelligence. Before we go on a little trip through Wonderland, I just want to touch on the topic of the learning types. Some poeple learn better through visuals (did you notice all those pictures I've been adding? ;-) Some poeple need bodil movement - hmm. While others take things in by listening. I will attempt to encorporate these learning types throughout. Although the kinesthetic aspect will be focused on under body smart.
But, enough of words, words, words. It's time for a bit of play!!!!
