Abstract
The theory of "Multiple Intelligences" is one of the most prominent modern educational theories in the field of second language learning and teaching in the twentieth century, particularly Gardner's ten intelligences introduced in 1983. These intelligences include: linguistic intelligence, logical-mathematical intelligence, spatial intelligence, naturalistic intelligence, interpersonal intelligence, intrapersonal intelligence, moral intelligence, existential intelligence, musical intelligence, and bodily-kinesthetic intelligence.
The Arabic language book for the tenth grade in high school, titled "Arabic: The Language of the Quran," is an important and specialized book in the humanities group in Iran, playing a crucial role in teaching Arabic to students. This study aims to evaluate the quantitative and qualitative content of this book based on the application of Gardner's ten intelligences theory using a descriptive, analytical, and comprehensive approach.
The results indicate that out of a sample size of 1,127, the highest frequency corresponds to linguistic intelligence (oral) with a count of 654, while the lowest frequency is related to existential intelligence with a count of 5. According to the study's findings, the Arabic language book for the tenth grade is considered an important and fundamental resource for teaching Arabic at the secondary level, as it employs an innovative and creative vision and applies eight of Gardner's intelligences to enhance and develop the four language skills in Arabic language learning, making it a suitable and effective resource for teaching Arabic to students in line with the theory of multiple intelligences.
