TEACHING ENGLISH WITH ICT AND DIFFERENTIATED INSTRUCTION

Teaching English with ICT and Differentiated Instruction is an academic guide designed to help English teachers effectively integrate Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and Differentiated Instruction (DI) into classroom practice. The book provides practical frameworks for lesson planning under Indonesia’s Emancipated Curriculum. It emphasizes how technology-enhanced and student-centered learning approaches can improve motivation, engagement, and learning outcomes in diverse English classrooms.

Across five comprehensive chapters, the authors explore essential concepts of ICT and DI, their types, advantages, and challenges in English Language Teaching (ELT). The book offers detailed strategies for designing ICT-based lesson plans that cater to individual differences in students’ readiness, interests, and learning profiles. It introduces diagnostic assessments, flexible grouping, and alternative evaluation methods to ensure inclusive and equitable learning opportunities.

Furthermore, the book presents hands-on applications through a Content Management System (CMS) using Google Sites, demonstrating how teachers can employ digital tools such as Mentimeter, Wordwall, and Google Classroom to create interactive and adaptive learning environments. Supported by recent empirical studies, it combines theory with classroom-based evidence to support innovative pedagogy.

Ultimately, Teaching English with ICT and Differentiated Instruction serves as both a theoretical foundation and a practical reference for English educators, aiming to enhance teaching quality and prepare students for success in an increasingly digital and globalized world.
