After more than thirty five years, multiple  intelligence theory of Howard Gardner is still used to help teaching and learning process in the classroom. Teachers can guide students to maximize their English language learning by optimizing their potential intelligences. Though so, discussion on multiple intelligence toward disadvantaged students is not adequate enough. This paper will figure out the usefulness of the Multiple intelligence theory to facilitate the disadvantaged students in learning English language  in the classroom especially who learn at non - fee paying school. Hopefully that this paper benefits for teachers who teach disadvantaged students, those who are working to improve the quality of education for disadvantaged students, and give a useful light to student teacher’s knowledge about the unique circumstances of disadvantaged students.

AbstractLearners’ interest is agreed by most of the educators to be significant for effectiveness of teaching and learning process. However postmodern society becomes more and more tranquilized or overactive (depending on the person) because of hundreds of information, pictures and others attacking people’s minds. Therefore gaining students’ attention and then attaching it to the subject becomes more and more difficult. The article makes an attempt to answer the question What is the role of Multiple Intelligence in enhancing learners’ interest level?


Historical and contemporary theorists have consistently influenced the philosophy of education. Theorists such as John Dewey, the forefather of progressive education, Lev Vygotsky, the creator of the zone of proximal development theory, Paulo Freire, the architect of a social justice-infused curricula, Sonia Nieto, the trailblazer in the multicultural movement, Nel Noddings, the groundbreaker of the care perspective, Emile Durkheim, the originator of sociology, Adam Smith, the spearhead of the economic theory, Howard Gardner, the mastermind of the multiple intelligence theory, and Maxine Greene, the visionary behind the aesthetic experience, have reasoned that a multidisciplinary approach to learning would allow students to recognize their learning potentials, and most importantly, offer students the knowledge and experience they need to connect to life itself.
