Abstract :This research is a document analysis review that focuses on investigating the theses about the implementation of Multiple Intelligences Theory (MIT) in teaching English language skills. Examining doctoral dissertations (DD) and master\'s theses (MT) written between 2000 and 2023 is the aim of this study. Collecting the examined studies in a single, easily accessible source is another goal of the study, which will aid the researchers in their future studies. DDs and MTs accessible in the Council of Higher Education (CoHE) National Thesis Center database are included in the research\'s sample group. The researchers included seventeen theses in the study. For this research, a qualitative research design with document analysis is used. To categorize the theses, the researchers created a thesis examination form as a data collection tool. Theses are analyzed based on their thesis results, research objectives, data collection tools, research method, sample group, universities where they were prepared, publication year, languages, and types. During the study\'s examination, content and descriptive analysis methods were employed to address research questions. At the end of the research, it has been revealed that the number of DDs is less than that of MTs. Most of the theses were published mainly in 2004 and were written in English. The theses that were examined used the quantitative research method the most for their research design. It has also been observed that MIT-based instruction in English classes maximize students’ language skills more and boost the retention of information. It has been revealed that English lessons with MIT-based instruction foster learners to perform better in their language learning period. Furthermore, it has been deduced that MIT-based instruction encourages students to have a positive attitude towards the English lesson, and it guides students to be motivated during the application. It is concluded that applying traditional teaching methods is less effective than utilizing MIT in the lessons. Following the conclusion part, some recommendations were offered to provide some ideas for future studies.
