加德纳(Howard Gardner)的多元智能理论从20世纪90年代以来对美国教育界产生了重大影响,并很快成为许多西方国家当前教育改革中一个重要的具有指导思想的理论。本文试以该理论为基点,审视当代大学英语教学课堂内外所应用的教学策略,提出针对英语教学需要积极改进的教学法,达到较好的教学效果,培养社会所需的实用性英语人才。 Howard Gardner’s theory of multiple intelligence has had a significant impact on the American education community since the 1990s, and has quickly become an important doctrine of instruction in many Western countries’ educational reforms. Based on this theory, this paper examines the teaching strategies used both inside and outside contemporary college English teaching and puts forward a teaching method that needs to be actively improved in order to achieve a better teaching effect and cultivate practical English-speaking talents required by the society.
