Multiple intelligences
Both Playway to English and Join In are written by the
highly successful author team of Günter Gerngross and Herbert Puchta,
who together have many years' experience of teaching and writing for young
learners. Their materials draw on important findings in the field of neurolinguistic
programming and multiple intelligences.
In his theory of multiple intelligences, Gardner identified seven different
types of 'intelligence':
- linguistic
- logical-mathematical
- musical
- spatial
- kinaesthetic
- interpersonal
- intrapersonal
Children learn best when every aspect of their intelligence is stimulated,
which is why Playway to English contains activities which involve
music, language, movement, logic, interpersonal work and spatial relations.
