Abstract

Introduction: Interpersonal skills are considered as increasingly important that people, including young learners, should develop. Interpersonal skills involve showing sympathy, interacting appropriately, overcoming shyness and fear and managing emotions and feelings. As young learners develop the skills, they will be able to deal with complex problems in learning. Interpersonal skills are the skills produced from the interpersonal intelligence that people have. Gardner (1983) theorizes that there are eight of peoples’ multiple intelligences (MI). This paper presents how MI theory can develop the interpersonal skills of people at very young age. It is advisable that teachers apply the MI theory in their classrooms to help young learners achieve interpersonal skills which will in turn facilitate their learning.
