Abstract
The present study aimed at investigating the effectiveness of Multiple Intelligences (MI)-based activities in developing the speaking skills and self-efficacy of second year preparatory stage students. The quasi- experimental design was used for conducting this research. A group of 2nd year preparatory students were randomly selected from Nawsa ELBahr preparatory school for girls in the academic year 2018-2019, 42 students for the experimental group and 48 students for the control group. The instruments of the study were: 1) A speaking skills checklist; 2) A speaking skills pre-posttest; and 3) An EFL self-efficacy scale. Results of the study indicated that the MI- based activities proved to be effective in developing the target speaking skills, namely: fluency, vocabulary, pronunciation, grammar and comprehensibility, besides developing students’ self-efficacy. Based on the findings, a set of recommendations and suggestions for further research were highlighted.
