N2  - This research aims to improve the students? writing skills through the teaching and learning processes which implement Multiple Intelligence-based techniques. The main consideration is that the classroom consists of students with different intelligence profiles and these can be used to make them learn writing at ease in their own style.
A total of 29 students of Grade VII D at SMPN 2 Bantul participated in this research. The data were collected both qualitatively through observations and interviews and quantitatively through survey and writing assignments and tests. The field notes and interview transcripts were processed qualitatively to build interpretations of the data, while the survey result and the writing scores were analyzed quantitatively to find the mode of the intelligences and the tendency of the students? writing scores.
The results show that the six dominant intelligences in Grade VII D arebodily-kinesthetic,  naturalist, visual-spatial, musical, logical-mathematical and interpersonal intelligences. Additionally, the writing teaching techniques based on these six intelligences can improve the students? skills in writing procedure and descriptive texts. It is proved by the mean score of their procedure text writings in the post-test (87.31), which is higher than that in the pre-test (69.66). The mean score of their descriptive text writings has also improved from 72.59 in the pretest to 87.34 in the post-test. These achievements prove that the implementation of MI-based techniques can improve the students? writing skills significantly.
