Abstract

The present research was based on the curricular experiences in both English and French taught to the students of the School of Languages during the 2016-I semester. This was a causal correlational study and its objective was to determine the effect of multiple intelligences on the students' academic performance. For this purpose, the students' multiple intelligences and their academic performance in those curricular experiences were determined. Which type of intelligence had the greatest influence on their academic performance was also determined. The grades taken into account to evaluate their academic performance were the grades obtained in the first partial examination of the curricular experiences of English I, II, III, IV and V and those of French I, II, III and IV. The study of multiple intelligences was based on the theory developed by Howard Gardner. Finally, it is hoped that this information will serve as a basis for future research that supports the improvement of lessons in which both teachers and students of the School of Languages participate.
