Abstract

Several research studies on Mental Ability found that students used multiple intelligences in language learning and in acquiring language skills to improve their proficiency. In this study, the researchers established the possess multiple intelligences of the 1st and 2nd year Civil Engineering students and their level of mental ability in language learning using a descriptive-correlational design. Furthermore, the researchers aimed to determine the relationship between multiple intelligences and level of mental ability in terms of language learning. The results of the study indicated that the 1st and 2nd Civil Engineering possess multiple intelligences. These are linguistic intelligence, spatial intelligence, logical intelligence, body kinesthetic intelligence, music intelligence, interpersonal intelligence, and intrapersonal intelligence. The study also found that the respondents are great at language learning.
