Verbal Intelligence

Students with relatively high verbal intelligence will come to be better able to think both independently and constructively, rather than function only at the level of simple fluency or vocabulary generation and recognition.

The learning objective of this module is to enhance students’ ability to verbalise their thoughts/ideas and to be better able to both understand and generate their verbal reasoning by using concepts that have been framed in words. So doing will lead to enhanced articulation of each student’s thoughts and ideas in coherent ways, whilst also being able to form multiple representations of the ideas and thoughts of others, as expressed to them (by others) through both written and oral presentations.As students advance, they will also likely transfer their new skills of verbalizing, understanding, reasoning and generating thoughts to other core areas of their cognitive developments, including the manipulation of numbers and other concepts that have been framed in words, so enhancing their verbal reasoning, logical and lateral thinking abilities.
