Creative drama activities in language classrooms are mainly meant for the development of:
"Interpersonal intelligence."
These activities encourage students to interact with others, collaborate in groups, and express themselves in social contexts, all of which are key aspects of interpersonal intelligence. Creative drama also involves empathy, communication, and understanding others' perspectives, which are essential skills for interpersonal interaction.
While creative drama can also engage other intelligences like bodily-kinesthetic intelligence (through physical movement) and intrapersonal intelligence (by reflecting on one's own emotions and thoughts), its primary focus in language classrooms is on fostering interpersonal skills.
