Along the same lines, the vision of the 12-Year Basic Education Curricular is to “nurture individual potential” and “empower each child” through the implementation of adaptive, diverse, and flexible courses. Tertiary education also leans towards adaptive instruction. One of the methods used in adaptive instruction is to place students into classrooms based on their ability. In order to improve the effectiveness of English education, many colleges and universities recently have implemented ability grouping in Freshman English classes and begun to pay attention to this issue. However, English ability grouping has been a controversial issue. The literature shows that teachers and students have divergent opinions on the practice of English ability grouping, and its effectiveness has been questioned, particularly in the highly competitive learning environment of top research-oriented universities. Furthermore, the phenomenon of "bimodal distribution in English proficiency" has long remained an unsolved problem in our English education. Multiple entrance programs also encourage students with diverse educational and cultural backgrounds to go to college. If the teacher fails to take into account the individual differences and personal traits of the students, implement differentiated teaching, and guide students to do autonomous learning, the teaching and learning effectiveness would be quite limited. In view of these concerns, the current research project attempts explore the effectiveness of ability grouping in a developmental English class at a top research-oriented university from the perspective of students. Also, this project aims to incorporate the concept of differentiated teaching into a theme-based English course and design a series of autonomous learning activities so as to cater for the individual differences and needs of students and gradually enhance students' autonomy.英文能力分班、差異化教學、主題式英語課程、自主學習、個別差異English ability grouping, differentiated instruction, theme-based English course, learner autonomy, individual difference主題式差異化教學與自主學習於大一英文輔導課程的應用=The Application of Theme-based Differentiated Instruction and Autonomous Learning in the Developmental Freshman English Classroom
