Promoting Moroccan
educational system has been the subject of much debate recently. Most teachers’
concern is how to face some unprecedented classroom dilemmas such as large
classroom size and the increasing diversity among learners. Teaching theories
contend that learners come into the classroom context with different sets of
prior knowledge and experiences expecting the teaching styles to be
multilayered matching their own individual inclinations.  One of the challenges for ELT is to cater for
this variety and come up with one particular teaching method that can pour in
different baskets and meets a wide range of needs. Accordingly, this paper aims
to highlight the merits of Multiple Intelligences theory (MI) in meeting
learners’ specific needs. Such an objective is achieved through the
experiential learning cycle of Kolb and Fryer (1975) which
situates the present study within
the tenets of reflective practice research approach. The experience takes place
in an ESP classroom, namely, in the High Institution of Tourism at the Faculty
of Education in Rabat in Morocco with the participation of 64 learners. Two
patterns of results are displayed; firstly, the teacher’s reflection on the
teaching experience reveals that learners’ motivation and integration in
classroom activities increase in comparison to the year before, and their
proficiency in the English language improves as well. The second pattern of
result is related to students’ reflection on their own learning experience;
accordingly learners feel more autonomous and responsible and they believe that
such a method touches their everyone’s need.
