Students have various uniqueness that they show in the classroom. Teachers need to be more vigilant in meeting students' learning needs, including when students learn the 'News Item' material. Reporting news is one of the important topics among English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students because information is part of everyday life.

This study aimed to discuss one solution to overcome problems that arise due to the different needs of students, Differentiated Instruction (DI). This study also focused on the extent to which students' perceptions were given after they experienced the implementation of differentiated instruction.

The method used in this study is Classroom Action Research (CAR) to realize the implementation of differentiated learning in 'News Item' topic for grade 12 students. To focus on classroom observation, researchers also utilized questionnaires and conducted interviews to obtain data on students' perceptions of the implementation of DI.

The reflections of each cycle were utilized to develop the planning of DI. This study showed that students gained four main benefits of DI implementation: 1) promoting adaptive learning conditions, 2) increasing active engagement in learning activities, 3) enhancing understanding and skill development, and 4) encouraging the use of varied educational resources.
