Musical Intelligence to Improve Pronunciation

Abstract

This article aims to analyze the use of musical intelligence (Howard Gardner) as a tool to facilitate individuals’ pronunciation. A study with Emirati participants who have Arabic as L1 has been conducted to see if participants in the experimental group, who were trained in English pronunciation through music, achieve greater outcomes than those in the control group, who were trained through a more traditional way (by listening and repeating exactly the same content as the experimental group). The results will be compared to our previous studies also related to Multiple Intelligences.
