The research focused on the Effects of Multiple Intelligence Approaches in Learning English Grammar in the Classroom. The approaches of multiple intelligences are popular among educators. These approaches exist due to the theory that had been introduced by Dr. Howard Gardner. Many teachers utilize multiple intelligences in their teaching philosophy and work to integrate Gardner's theory into the classroom which is in line with the Malaysian philosophy of education. Traditionally, schools have been designed for students who are mathematically and linguistically inclined, while students who were artistic, musically, or kinesthetic learners were out of luck. Fortunately, educators now recognize that there are many paths to understanding, and students learn best when they are able to engage in activities that involve their strengths. In Malaysia, the Multiple Intelligence elements and approaches has become compulsory in the teachers daily lesson planning ill school. Due to this, teachers or educators need to understand their students intelligence and abilities in order to applied the right multiple intelligences approaches to ensure the effectiveness of their teaching methods and their choice of teaching materials to accommodate and engages students with broader range ofskills and intelligences.
