المستخلص

The current study sets out to investigate how speaking skills can be developed through activities based on
the theory of multiple intelligences. Action research design was employed in the study. The intervention
was conducted as part of a course called the Graduation Project by seven student teachers from the English
Department's basic education program in the fourth year at the Faculty of Education, Ain Shams
University. A satisfaction questionnaire and a speaking skills checklist were used as instruments in the
study. The purpose of the multiple intelligence-based activities was to enhance the learners’ speaking
abilities. The activities were implemented over a period of five weeks. A paired t-test was used to assess
the impact of the designed activities on speaking skill development. The results showed statistically
significant differences between the pre- and post-administration of the speaking skills checklist, indicating
that the activities effectively improved speaking performance. Finally, several suggestions and
recommendations for future research were provided
