3.1. Research Method

This research is qualitative research since it concerned the understanding of human behavior and conducted in a natural setting with uncontrolled observation and attempted to interpret or make sense of phenomena Polit and Hungler, 1999. In addition, this research was process-oriented, exploratory, expansionist and describes in detail the entire particular phenomenon occurring in such setting Nunan, 1992; Merriam, 1988 cited in Creswell, 2009; Cohen Manion, 1989. In line with De Vos 2002, p. 360, this present study was therefore a qualitative-descriptive research which attempted to find out the influence of activities by using implicit multiple intelligences towards students’ effective EFL learning. Besides, a qualitative research is appropriate for this present research because qualitative methodology is dialectic and interpretive as the characteristics of the research. During the interaction between the researcher and the research participants, the participants’ world is discovered and interpreted by means of qualitative method.
