Studying a foreign language in a rewarding and motivating atmosphere will create a perfect setting to enhance language proficiency. It appears that course books and class activities are crucial in this context. This experimental research aimed to find the efficacy of supplementary materials designed based on multiple intelligences on learners' attitudes towards classroom activities (enjoyment, engagement, choice, and challenge). To that end, a two-phase study was planned. First, the researchers developed tasks for each lesson of Vision series, the book taught in the high schools of Iran. Then, the experimental groups (N=60) were exposed to the designed tasks and the course book while the control group (N=60) were exposed just to the course book for four months The Babel proficiency test, along with the translated edition of the Students’ Perceptions of Classroom Activities Scale was given to the experimental and control group participants as the pretest and posttest to examine the impact of the developed tasks on their perceptions of classroom activities. The results of multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) indicated that the designed tasks had positive and significant effect on the students’ interests, challenge, choice, and joy.

The discussion over human inherent capabilities and talent has long been one of the important challenges of education and has prompted scholars and educators to probe this ongoing issue. This paper aimed to conduct a phenomenographic analysis of the meaning of giftedness from the perspective of school teachers across Sanandaj. In this qualitative study, 30 school teachers were interviewed until theoretical saturation was reached. For this study, a semi-structured interview was conducted using a set of six questions. The data collected from the interviews were analyzed using the MAXQDA 2020 software. The coding method utilized for the interviews was the Colaizzi data analysis method, which is a commonly used approach for qualitative data analysis. The participants believed that giftedness encompasses ‘self-direction,’ ‘moral prosperity,’ and self-motivation’ among others. Also, the suggested mechanisms to employ gifted individuals include providing supportive atmosphere in schools, supporting and guiding gifted students during their education at university, employing gifted alumni, and establishing and implementing complementary and various programs.
