Abstract Junior school students’ difference in intelligence, personality and gender brings many difficulties to the teaching of teachers, and it is easy to produce two class differentiations. In the new curriculum standards of English teaching, it’s inevitable for teachers to face students’ inpidual difference. Differentiated instruction aims not to eliminate differences, but to admit the inpidual differences of students. Only if teachers take students’ inpidual differences into consideration, apply interactive teaching, stratification teaching and persified evaluation, and promote the development of inpidual differences of students can the quality of English teaching be effectively improved.61496

摘要初中生在智力、个性和性别方面的差异给教师的教学带来许多困难，并很容易产生两级分化。在新的英语教学课程标准中，教师会不可避免地面对学生的个体差异。差异教学的目的不是去消除学生的差异，取而代之的是承认学生的个体差异。只有教师考虑学生的个体差异，采用互动教学、分层教学和多样性评估，促进学生个体差异的发展，才能有效提高英语教学质量。

 1. Introduction

Differentiated instruction is a new educational approach under the background of English curriculum reform. The special needs of the various stages in the development of students are taken into consideration in the differentiated instruction, according to students’ inpidual intelligence, personality and psychological difference, and it can increase students’ personal abilities and skills about family, community and society. It can effectively promote students’ all-round development(Wang Shiqing, 2005:51). This educational approach can help teachers to understand the advantages and disadvantages of each student. The organic combination of differentiated instruction and traditional teaching method can effectively improve teaching effectiveness and can also help students master the knowledge. 

The requirement of differentiated instruction is that teachers should pay attention to the students’ common development and at the same time, should also focus on and notice students’ personal difference. It takes the students’ character and inpiduality into the organic unity and promotes the maximized development of teaching and learners. Differentiated instruction focuses on common development of students who have different academic levels and different learning abilities and also on the development of students’ different intellectual abilities. It can help to solve the problems of English teaching in junior high school.
