Annotation: In the increasingly diverse landscape of English language
classrooms, catering to the varying proficiency levels of students is a crucial challenge
for educators. This paper explores the significance of personalized learning in English
language teaching, offering strategies to adapt instruction to individual needs. By
reviewing relevant literature and examining practical approaches, this study aims to
provide a framework for teachers to effectively address the unique linguistic and
cognitive needs of students at different proficiency levels. The findings suggest that
personalized learning not only enhances language acquisition but also fosters greater
engagement and motivation among learners. Key strategies include differentiated
instruction, formative assessment, and the use of technology to tailor learning
experiences.
