Investigating the Relationship between Multiple Intelligences and Perceptual Learning Styles of Turkish ELT Students

This paper outlines an attempt to research the relationship between the multiple intelligence levels and the learning styles of Turkish English Language Teaching (ELT) students at a state university in Turkey. In this present study, 143 students took part at different grades. Data were collected by two different instruments, one of which was a "Perceptual Learning Style Preference Questionnaire" and the second one was "Multiple Intelligence Domains Evaluation Scale". The results of the data analyses revealed that the visual-spatial intelligence and visual learning style were the most dominant types of intelligence and learning styles. Furthermore, a statistically significant correlation was observed between the group learning style and linguistic, visual-spatial, interpersonal and intrapersonal intelligence. Correspondingly, it is believed that those findings will pave the ground to reconsider some critical points regarding the gap in the relevant literature since no related and similar study to identify the perceptual learning styles and the multiple intelligence levels of Turkish ELT students have been found in the Turkish context.
