Abstract

Learning to write often faces challenges due to the diversity of students’ abilities, interests, and learning styles in the classroom. To answer these problems, differentiated learning is a relevant and effective approach. The purpose of this study is to explain how differentiated learning is used in writing instruction and how it affects students’ writing abilities. The research method used is a qualitative study with a descriptive approach, involving observation of the learning process, document analysis, and interviews with teachers and students. The results show that the application of differentiation in content, process, and product aspects is able to increase student participation, facilitate diverse learning needs, and encourage students to produce more creative, in-depth, and comprehensively structured writing. In the context of higher education, especially in students of English language education study programs, the application of differentiation has been proven to help them develop academic skills, critical thinking, and writing skills in the target language more effectively. In conclusion, differentiated learning not only provides space for students to learn according to their potential, but also becomes an effective strategy to improve the quality of writing learning in a highly heterogeneous and dynamic classroom.
