In Indonesia, participation in English Language Teaching ( ELT) profoundly
challenging for the students. This research is directed to find the students participation in
classroom, specifically in foreign language class and its support. This research is case study

using descriptive qualitative research. The result of the research shows that there are two
kinds of activities dominating the participation of students, they were taking into account
while lecturer explaining material (75%) and asking about matter learning which haven’t
been understood (65%). Integrating logical mathematical intelligence in EFL class provely
increase students participation as well as enhance students character. This research
constribute to the development of applying innovative strategies and approaches in English
