“…Overall, the findings revealed that Visual-Spatial intelligence is the most related predictor of Business Management students' performance in reading comprehension test as well as in the non-linear text format while the Intrapersonal Intelligence serves as the best predictor for linear text. In addition, it is stated by Safranj and Zivlak (2018), students with Visual-Spatial intelligence tend to visualize space and objects in their mind as well as able to comprehend mental model. Thus, the fact that Visual-Spatial Intelligence mainly serves as the predictor of Business Management students' performance in reading is valuable for them to make use of the strength in doing business which requires them to get involved in the planning and developing process in related to their business and thus anticipating the outcomes of each decision to be made in the future.…”

The growth of methods in doing business has made it vital for students in that area to be exposed to theirMultiple Intelligence in relation with their skills in English Language. Concerning the fact that English isa universal language and reading is one of the fundamental skills in marketing, it is essential for thestudents to recognize their Multiple Intelligence to determine their best approach in doing business. Thus,a study was carried out among Business Management students in UiTM Alor Gajah Melaka to identifythe relationship of Multiple Intelligence and the students’ performance on two types of reading textswhich are the linear and non-linear. The findings show that the most significant Intelligence of thestudents is interrelated with their reading skills. Indeed, it is necessary for the students in BusinessStudies to get exposed to their significant Intelligence especially its relation in the skills of using Englishas a medium of communication in written and spoken forms.

“…Ideally, education should be matched to individual abilities and interests so that he/she can be appropriately challenged and maximally motivated to learn. According to Šafranj and Zivlak (2018), in multiple intelligence theory, intelligence can be associated with an individual's aptitude or potentials -the fact that an individual score either high or low in one specific area does not make him any more or less intelligent in the traditional sense. They also mentioned that visual-spatial intelligence could visualise space and objects within the mind's eye.…”

: Students with special needs (MBK) should not be considered students who fail or have no future. Although MBKs are those with intellectual problems or shortcomings, they may have strengths or powers in other areas that need to be identified and improved. The respondents who were the sample of this study were 44 people consisting of MBK with intellectual disability, dyslexia, and visual impairment. This research employed instruments of academic success perception (α = 0.78, construct validity = 0.85), multiple intelligences (α = 0.86, construct validity = 0.87), and interview protocol to recognise the dominant aspects of MBK to build further the framework of courses advanced/vocational following the interests of the respondents. The dominant aspect for the perception of academic success was External / Future (μ = 3.43, SD = 0.38), while the most dominant aspect for multiple intelligences was Visual-Spatial Intelligence (μ = 3.22, SD = 0.46). The dominant aspects were also very relevant to MBK’s choice of advanced/vocational courses, particularly cooking, bakery, sewing, carpentry, entrepreneurs, logistics, and mechanics. It is hoped that this study’s conclusions can present information on the courses that are the authentic choice among MBKs for consideration by stakeholders in offering advanced/vocational courses to this group.

“…In this context, primary ESL learners are more receptive to colours, shapes and forms when they are exposed to the PPT PiWoca technique in the form of bubble map. The Multiple Intelligences (MI) Theory advocated by Gardner offers a unique concept on intelligence and has a philosophy of mind which recognizes many different sides of thinking processes (Safranj, 2018). The eight intelligences are verbal/linguistic, logical/mathematical, visual/spatial, bodily-kinaesthetic, musical, interpersonal, intrapersonal and naturalistic intelligences.…”

“…Visual/spatial intelligence prevails the potential of the mind in creating a mental image which exposes the spatial world. Safranj (2018) further explains that primary ESL learners are more likely to explore the interpretation and creation of visual images, pictorial imagination and expression. Hence, this technique embeds the use of pictures and word cards in the form of bubble map to assist primary ESL learners' construction of simple sentences which adheres to the visual/spatial intelligence.…”

Society of today signifies how English, as a global language, has attained a universal pedestal compared to others. Thus, it is highly demanding and challenging for one to be a proficient and effective language user. In Malaysia, teachers of English as a Second Language (ESL) tend to face umpteenth challenges in developing primary ESL learners' language abilities, especially in the scope of writing. Some of the problems include deprivation of vocabulary, lack of motivation, lack of reading and the influence of multimedia language. Consequently, ESL teachers have to opt for different strategies and approaches to tackle primary ESL learners' writing skills, particularly in simple sentence construction. Therefore, this study presents a literature review on the use of PowerPoint Picture-Word Card (PPT PiWoCa) technique in the form of bubble map to enhance primary ESL learners' simple sentence construction. In this study, social constructivist theory and the visual-spatial element in Gardner's Multiple Intelligences theory reveal that the PPT PiWoCa technique allows primary ESL learners to brainstorm ideas and construct knowledge in authentic contexts. Similarly, the use of visual representations such as PPT, pictures, word cards and bubble map is able to capture primary ESL learners' attention in the recognition of words, grammatical functions and sentence structure based on a guided sample of simple sentence construction. With the presence of visual aids, primary ESL learners are able to model the sample given in order to produce meaningful simple sentences.
