Abstract

The students have their own learning style. They can be distinguished into the types of learners, namely visual, auditory, and kinesthetic (VAK). However, the students’ learning styles differences are seldom acknowledged in the classroom. This results in their low learning performance. Thus, it is very important to adjust and differ the teaching and learning process based on the students’ learning style. In line with this, this paper purposes at providing the ideas of using cubing activity in accommodating the learning styles differences among the students in the English language classroom. This paper is a library-based research study which collects several theories on differentiated instruction, VAK learning styles, and the classroom activity which can be used to accommodate the students with learning styles differences. As a result of reviewing the theories, this paper ends by presenting a sample of lesson plan to bridge the individual differences among students based on their learning styles by using cubing activity as it has several features which will be beneficial in bridging the students’ individual differences. The lesson plan is developed to teach English in the context of Indonesian education and is suitable for the skill of writing.
