Becher (2011) thinks the ELLs have two misconceptions. Firstly, most learners want to improve English a lot through talk with native speakers or their peers. Secondly is a large number of ELLs pay more attention to speaking English, but it is just the opposite. They do not care about the development of academic English. The author, Becher (2011) hopes to differentiate instruction can correct their misconceptions, at the same time, to build their own English language skills. Several years ago, I was meet a problem about which is the best way that can improve my English. I searched on the Internet and books to find a suitable method for myself.

Personally, differentiated instruction is the embodiment of the students communicate with their teachers. And teaching is the expression of the collaboration between students and teachers. Teachers can accurately understand the students’ personality and locate their level through communication in order that they can provide a suitable teaching method. For example, a method called cultural responsiveness, and how does it work in ESL classrooms. Teachers need prepare the background information from different students, and this step asked teachers have an conversation with their students. Next step, the group practice will encourage students talk with each other, then a cooperative presentation will show the knowledge they learn. Teachers use the textbook to correct students’ mistake and promote the development of speaking skills at the end. The communication and collaboration should be used in this
