ABSTRACT

In the current field of education, diversified and personalized education has received widespread attention, emphasizing respect for the uniqueness and potential of each student. Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligence provides theoretical support for personalized education. It breaks the traditional definition of intelligence and proposes that human intelligence is diverse, including language, mathematical logic, visual space, body movements, music, interpersonal communication, self-awareness, and natural observation. This theory is particularly important for vocational English teaching, as it encourages teachers to conduct personalized teaching based on the intelligence characteristics of students, utilizing their strengths to enhance their English application and cross-cultural communication abilities. English teachers need to use diverse teaching methods, such as images and role-playing, to meet the needs of students with different types of intelligence. In addition, personalized English teaching emphasizes students' subjectivity and self-learning ability, encouraging them to choose a suitable learning path based on their interests and abilities. This personalized and autonomous teaching model helps to improve students' motivation and participation in English learning, laying a solid foundation for their comprehensive development.
