Abstract

This study aimed at investigating how students from different learning styles perceived the advantages of implementing differentiated learning in their English class. This research used a survey method with a cross-sectional design. The population was 205 eleventh-grade students of SMAN 1 Tilatang Kamang in the 2022/2023 academic year. They were classified as auditory, visual, kinesthetic, auditory kinesthetic, auditory, visual, auditory kinesthetic, visual kinesthetic, auditory visual, and kinesthetic visual learning styles. The sample was 41 students which is 20% out of the total population by employing a proportional random sampling technique. To collect the data, a questionnaire was administered after being validated by 3 validators. The validation result was 4.6 on average which indicated it was valid. The result of the reliability was 0.908 which showed it was reliable. The findings showed that students from different learning styles perceived positively on the advantages of implementing differentiated learning in their English Class. This implies that English teachers should be able to maintain students’ positive perceptions during their implementation of differentiated learning as well as improving those who held negative one since it will have a significant effect on their learning.
