ABSTRACT– This research aims at (1) describing the implementation of Multiple
Intelligences on the process of teaching and learning English on fourth grade students of SD
Kristen 3 Klaten in the academic year of 2012/2013 (2) identifying the difficulties on
implementing Multiple Intelligences and (3) finding out the solutions can be offered by
teacher to overcome the difficulties. SD Kristen 3 Klaten is one of the Elementary Schools in
Klaten which applies the Multiple Intelligences.
The research was conducted at SD Kristen 3 Klaten. The subject of the research was the
students the fourth grade students. The method of this research was Case Study Research. In

collected the data, the researcher analyzed the data in qualitative research.
The research revealed three major findings which consist of 1) the description of
implementation Multiple Intelligences which consist of (1) the document used on
implementing Multiple Intelligences, (2) English teaching and learning activity by

ABSTRACT– This research aims at (1) describing the implementation of Multiple
Intelligences on the process of teaching and learning English on fourth grade students of SD
Kristen 3 Klaten in the academic year of 2012/2013 (2) identifying the difficulties on
implementing Multiple Intelligences and (3) finding out the solutions can be offered by
teacher to overcome the difficulties. SD Kristen 3 Klaten is one of the Elementary Schools in
Klaten which applies the Multiple Intelligences.
The research was conducted at SD Kristen 3 Klaten. The subject of the research was the
students the fourth grade students. The method of this research was Case Study Research. In
collecting the data, the writer used interview, classroom observation and document. Having
collected the data, the researcher analyzed the data in qualitative research.
The research revealed three major findings which consist of 1) the description of
implementation Multiple Intelligences which consist of (1) the document used on
implementing Multiple Intelligences, (2) English teaching and learning activity by
implementing Multiple Intelligences, (3) the other components supporting the
implementation of Multiple and; 2) the difficulties found out on implementing Multiple
Intelligences; 3) solutions offered by teacher to overcome the difficulties.
The teacher had knowledge about multiple intelligences. Specifically, she knew the main
characteristic, theories and the activities that could be implemented in multiple intelligences.
Hopefully the description of the implementation Multiple Intelligences at this school can be
used for English teaching development in other schools.
