-Abstract
This study aimed at investigating the effectiveness of using multiple intelligences (MI) based activities in developing EFL speaking skills and self- efficacy for preparatory stage visually- impaired pupils at Al-Nour schools in Mansoura. Based on the literature review, related studies and content specification of first year prep, five EFL speaking sub-skills were determined. Instruments of the study included: an MI checklist for determining the most common intelligences among the VI pupils, a speaking test, and a self-efficacy scale for measuring those pupils' self-efficacy level before and after the experiment. The content of the units with MI-based activities was taught to pupils throughout twelve sessions. Results revealed that MI- based activities had a great effect on enhancing the students' EFL speaking skills and self-efficacy as there were statistically significant differences between each of the pre- and post- administrations of both the speaking test and self-efficacy scale. The study also proposed some recommendations and suggestions for further research.
