I felt so happy when my lecturer said that we will have a seminar about multiple intelligences. In my point of view, multiple intelligences is the best teaching methodologies ever. It is a new “weapon” to teach in a class with diverse students. Not like the ancient teaching methodology,  such as: TPR, suggestopedia, Audiolingualism and etc, multiple Intelligences offer the new way of teaching. It provides so many choices in teaching and learning. If we see in Indonesia, there are still many teachers who use the old style of teaching. Then what happen? Flash back to my school experience, the class will be so bored. Teacher treats student as they are all the same, in fact, we are all different. If teacher keep on doing the same things, not all the students can get the knowledge properly. Most of the teachers tend to stereotype student. They said that a clever student is someone who get high score in exam or someone who get the 1^st rank in class. Then what about the other student who don’t achieve the academic score? Are they all stupid? This is an old point of view. In multiple intelligences every student has their own intelligence. It is very unique. As a teacher, we have to consider each intelligence that each student has. We are responsible to implant our knowledge teaching style based on multiple intelligences.  Multiple intelligences provides teacher with so many interactive activity for teaching. This methodology helps teacher to help student for mastering a lesson perfectly. It is good to apply multiple intelligences in Indonesian school in order to achieve students and teachers academic goal.
