Abstract
The role of logical mathematical intelligence in SLL has not clearly been discovered. The present study attempted to identify the relationship between logical mathematical intelligence and grammar scoring. To this end, a correlational design is employed to examine our research hypotheses which claim that there is a significant relationship between logical mathematical Intelligence and EFL learners' performance on grammar scoring. We worked with 60 students of second year from the department of English at Larbi Ben Mhidi University. For research tools, we used Armstrong multiple intelligence inventory, its logical-mathematical scale (LMS) was administered to participants. We also used the official standardized grammar exam of second year students of English Department at Larbi Ben Mhidi University of 2018-2019 academic year. After gathering the data, we analyzed the information using SPSS. We found that there is a significant positive relationship between LMI and learners' performance on grammar tests. By way of explanation, the higher level of LMI, the greater performance on grammar tests. Therefore, we confirmed our research hypothesis.
