Implementing differentiated instructional strategies is one of the key teaching pillars in creating an engaging educational environment as it guarantees teaching students effectively regardless of their cultural and educational backgrounds. It diversifies the teaching and learning process to respond to students’ learning styles as well as their levels and learning potentialities.
This article explores profoundly and practically the implementation of differentiated teaching and learning for enabling educationalists to enrich their students’ educational experience and making teaching and learning highly enjoyable and constructive. Firstly, it identifies the concept of differentiated instruction by defining this term from different views. Additionally, it points out the educational areas that can be considered when implementing differentiated instruction and the reasons for considering it in the teaching and the learning processes. Furthermore, this article introduces highly academic and practical strategies that teachers or educationalists can implement in their classrooms. Moreover, it presents different constructive teaching strategies that enrich teachers’ expertise in teaching English language methodology.
