Nowadays, the reasons for the educational differences between China and the Western countries are mainly divided into three levels --- family, school, and individual. And all three of these levels can be attributed to cultural differences. Differentiated instruction (DI) is an important method to respect the individual differences of learners and promote personalized teaching. Through the analysis and research of literature related to DI in China and the West, combined with the conversational analysis of classroom cases, this article summarizes the advantages and disadvantages of DI. DI is a student-oriented teaching strategy that can help students more specifically improve their knowledge and abilities. In addition, because every student is different, it is very difficult to implement DI for each student. The article also shows the importance and necessity of implementing differentiated teaching in education.
