During the last three decades, multiple intelligence (MI), proposed by Gardner (1983), has drawn considerable attention from the researchers. The present study reviews the effects of Multiple Intelligences (MI) on Learning English as a Foreign Language (LEFL) and the relationship between multiple Intelligences and Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL). According to Gardner's (2001) classification, nine different types of intelligences are considered important each of which has an impact on the specific skill in language learning. This paper compares and contracts the findings of different MI studies on learning and teaching, concluding that the relationship between MI, LEFL and TEFL is controversial.

The primary aim of this study was to determine the role of psychometric intelligence (IQ), emotional intelligence (EQ), and emo-sensory intelligence (ESQ) in university students’ academic achievement. To this end, 212 university students at different academic levels, composed of 154 females and 58 males, were asked to complete the Raven’s Progressive Matrices, the Bar-On Emotional Quotient Inventory, and the Emo-Sensory Intelligence Scale. Data were then matched with students’ Grade Point Averages as a measure of their academic achievement. The results revealed that students’ level of IQ and EQ could positively predict their academic achievement. In the case of their ESQ level, its auditory sub-component was found to be a positive predictor of academic success. Results were discussed, and possible implications and applications for increasing students’ chances for success were presented.

Purpose:The purpose of the study was to examine teachers' perceptions towards research by first investigating teachers' conceptions about research and second, by examining the extent to which teachers read and do research. Methodology: To this end, the participants of the present study were 98 English language teachers from language institutes and schools. Utilizing Borg's ( 2009) questionnaire, at first, the questionnaire responses were analyzed to determine the teachers' view of research; in this section, the teachers were asked to point out to what extent they felt the activities described in 10 scenarios were or were not research. Findings: The results indicated that three scenarios were considered to be "probably research" and scenarios 4, 5 and 6 were regarded as "definitely research" by the participants. On the other hand, two scenarios were recognized as "definitely research". The results of the second research question showed that among 98 English teachers only 24 teachers "often or sometimes" read published research which is a very high index. Teachers' reasons for the answers to the second research question were lack of time, knowledge, access to resources, and institutional support. The findings of this research indicate that teachers' conceptions of research are very near to conventional scientific theories. Only 12.2% of the teachers mentioned that they "do research". Conclusion: the findings of the present study may be useful for teachers who want to promote their English teaching as such findings are suggested to improve their level of engagement in research activities, and consequently the quality of their research.
