The findings revealed that there is a relationship between MI and vocabulary knowledge (vocabulary breadth). [...]stepwise multiple regression analysis showed that linguistic verbal intelligence is the best predictor of vocabulary knowledge. [...]of implementing MI and cooperative learning groups, students showed an increased motivation in class work. Here the researcher seeks whether the intelligences that correlated with Writing Strategies could also predict them. Since the results of the first research question showed that some of the intelligences were correlated with General and Before writing strategies, two series of Regression were run to find the possible predictions. Knowing about how their intelligences act, the students themselves would also know how to improve themselves most efficiently through using different types of intelligences best. [...]by being aware of the WS used by students, both teachers and students would know which strategies are almost learned and used most and which strategies need more emphasis and practice which is going to help improve the students' writing.
