Effective communication in English Language plays a vital role in enabling the young graduates realize their dream positions in their careers. Proficiency of English Language allows an individual to communicate freely and effectively with people around the world. Learning English as a second language or foreign language demands intensive attention of students with active participation and involvement in the classroom. But the young graduates from rural backgrounds (most of them are first generation students) face several linguistic and cognitive limitations like shyness, lack of confidence, fear of making mistakes, pronunciation, grammar, scarcity of vocabulary, monotonous classroom teaching, and so on and so forth. Probably they experience all these, as they are devoid of enough exposure to English language either at home or in their localities since childhood. These inhibitions affect their communicative ability. Once the students free themselves from these unnecessary inhibitions, there will be maximum scope for effective learning of the language which inturn reflects in their effective communicative ability. Hence, teaching English to the first generation students is not similar to teaching English to the students of urban localities. Under such circumstances, the activities of Multiple Intelligence Approach, introduced by Howard Gardener, a psychologist from Harvard University, accommodates the needs of the rural students in learning the English language based on their intelligence.
