The Effectiveness of A Program Based on Differentiated Instruction Strategy in Developing the Syntactic Skills of Second-Grade Intermediate Level Students

The study aims to identify the effectiveness of a program based on a Differentiated Instruction Strategy in developing the syntactic skills of second-grade intermediate level students. In order to achieve the objective of this study; A list of syntactic skills corresponding to second-grade of intermediate level students was prepared, a test was designed to measure these skills, and a program based on differentiated instruction strategy was developed. The study sample consisted of (32) students of the second-grade of intermediate level who were divided into two groups: an experimental group of (16) students who were taught using the program based on the differentiated instruction strategy, and a control group of (16) students who were taught using the traditional way. After applying the pre-post study tools, the study reached several results that revealed the effectiveness of the program in developing syntactic skills related to syntactic understanding, syntactic inference, syntactic application, and syntactic condition among the experimental group of second-grade students of the intermediate level; in view of the results of the study, a set of suggestions and recommendations were presented.
