Beyond One-size-fits-all: Empowering Efl Students Through Differentiated Instruction
Authors : Othmane Meriem .
Abstract
At the heart of effective differentiated instruction lies the fundamental goal of empowering diverse learners to engage meaningfully in group discussions - the proven gateway to the many instructional benefits of cooperative learning. However, the pitfalls of homogeneous grouping, whether of high-achievers or struggling students, risk undermining this very purpose. This study set out to uncover crucial insights that could reshape how teachers approach differentiation and flexible grouping in the EFL classroom, exploring teachers' awareness of student differences, grouping practices and their impact, the use of flexible grouping strategies, and the availability of necessary training and resources. The findings reveal that while teachers understand the importance of differentiation, most struggle to implement flexible grouping effectively, depriving learners of opportunities to collaborate and develop key skills; this is due to a critical lack of targeted teacher training and support.
