Abstract
Differentiated instruction (DI) is a teaching approach that tailors educational experiences to meet the diverse needs of students. In language teaching, individual differences such as learning styles, proficiency levels, and cognitive abilities necessitate flexible strategies to ensure that all students reach their full potential. This article examines the effectiveness of differentiated instruction in language teaching and how it addresses these individual learner differences. The research explores theoretical frameworks, practical applications, and empirical evidence supporting DI's impact on student outcomes in language acquisition.
