4. Teaching-Learning Activities
The researcher selected teaching-learning activities that support the subject content so that the students can learn maximally and reach the competence standard,
basic competence, and indicator in each unit. Every single unit in these instructional materials design consisted of five
learning activities that develop students’ multiple intelligences. They were Let’s Sing, Talk About It, What is It, Let’s Play, and Activity. Each of them helped
students in developing certain intelligences. This idea came up not only to facilitate students who are dominant in certain intelligence to learn English optimally but also
to help them in learning through other intelligences.
In Let’s Sing, musical and bodily-kinesthetic intelligences were developed.
The students learned English through songs and gestures. It would be beneficial for
them who learn best through songs. In the section of Talk About It, linguistic and
interpersonal intelligences were developed. The students were motivated to do simple
conversation with other friends. In What is It section, vocabulary was introduced. A
teacher triggered students’ linguistic and visual spatial intelligence in teaching and learning process. It would be beneficial for them who learn best through pictures and
visual media.
Moreover, in Let’s Play, students’ bodily kinesthetic, linguistic, natural and
visual spatial intelligences were triggered. It would be beneficial for them who learn
best by moving the body. Finally, in Activity section, students’ visual spatial, logical-
55 mathematic, and intrapersonal intelligences were developed. The stimulus on
developing students’ multiple intelligences was flexible in every section of learning activities.
In order to facilitate the students’ intelligences optimally, the appropriate learning techniques should be employed. In this material design, the researcher used
some learning techniques based on the students’ characteristics and the data gathered in the needs analysis.
