Abstract : The current study sought to explore the effect of Differentiated Instruction, in light of one’s own cognitive profiles, on female English as a Foreign Language (EFL) foundation year students at King Abdul-Aziz University in the academic year of 2017-2018. Using the E & L questionnaire, the first part of the study aimed at measuring the degree to which female learners differ in terms of their cognitive attributes. The second sought to investigate the effect of applying Differentiated Instruction as a method of teaching on learners’ performance in grammar following a pretest-posttest design. The third aimed at exploring the way learners perceive Differentiated Instruction through short one-to-one interviews. Results of the first part of the study revealed that the cognitive diversity among students is considerable (ranging from moderate to high). Consequently, the application of Differentiated Instruction resulted in a significant difference between the pre and post test results of students in the experimental group. However, when comparing the performance of these learners to that of their counterparts in the control group, the results revealed that the difference is not statistically significant. The interview results, on the other hand, showed that learners perceive the application of Differentiated Instruction positively. Three themes were found to be recurrent in their responses: the increased motivation, appropriateness of access, and autonomy. Based on these findings, a few implications and recommendations were drawn.
