The technique to use in data validation is by using source triangulation. The study found that the program was ineffective. There were four main factors to cause the ineffectiveness: First, the teaching context was less supportive to good teaching practices. Second, the inputs for the program were in lack of quality, indicated by unprofessional teachers. Third, the process of teaching and learning didn’t meet the stakeholders’ expectation; and last, the product indicated the students’ less competency on good communication skills required. In other words, the program didn’t achieve its goal; and, it is a clear  prove to Dunkin’s and Biddle’s theory (1974) that context variables, presage variables or the input teachers, process variables, and product variables interrelatedly affect the success of teaching for a course program.

There are 2 homogenous groups of the 4th semester of English Department students of Gorontalo State University enrolled in this study. A total of 40 students from control and experimental group were involved. This study applied quasi-experimental design with pretest and posttest that were given to both groups followed by the perceptional questionnaire to find out the students’ perception toward the application of MIBA. The experimentation comprised 8 types of activities as the embodiment of 8 intelligences proposed by Gardner (2011) to be incorporated into students’ writing class. The students’ writing performance was measured through Jacobs et. al.’s analytic writing scale (as cited in Hughes, 2003) including content, organization, vocabulary, language use and mechanics, while the data from the questionnaire was analyzed through Likert scale measurement. The result of the independent sample t-test revealed that experimental group taught using MIBA showed a statistically significant performance compared to the control group taught using conventional way of teaching with t-observed value was greater than t-table value (2.532 > 2.042).  At last, the data from perceptional questionnaire strongly suggest that the students of experimental group had positive perception toward the application of MIBA. Therefore, it can be concluded that MIBA gave a positive effect in promoting students’ writing performance.
