Identifying the learner’s need: We can identify the learner’s need from the application process, from interview or when they commence the programme.

We can embed differentiation by conducting a small group works during the lesson. we can divide our students in different groups according to their learning style, previous knowledge, level of qualification etc.
According to (Tummons, 2010, page 93) Differentiation can be defined as an approach to teaching and leaning that both recognises the individuality of learner and also informs way of planning for learning and teaching that take these individualities into consideration.
