The purpose of this study was to examine Korean EFL high school students’ perceptions about level-differentiated instruction. For this purpose of this study, a survey was carried out from March, 2013 to December 2013. The questionnaire were administered to 135 high school students (65 boys, 70 girls). The students in 5 classes at a local high school in Ok Gwa were divided into three levels (i.e., beginning, intermediate, and advanced) based on their scores of the achievement test. The most important factor to level-differentiated instruction was to give attraction to student and let them have motivation themselves, and after finishing this survey, I found that students who took level-differentiated instruction get its advantage. The major results of this study can be summarized as follows. First, students who take level-differentiated instruction were satisfied with their class. This means that the level-differentiated instruction had a positive influence on students. Second, some students who took level-differentiated instruction got high score on their exam, especially on students who belong to beginning class. This suggested that some students derive a lot of benefit from level-differentiated instruction. According to data from open questionnaire, students wanted variety instruction materials such as picture materials, video clip and they didn't want to shift their classroom during the break time. Based on the study result, I'd like to make suggestions after this study. First, teachers need to prepare appropriate lecture to students level, and teachers should provide appropriated lectures to each student level. Second, to get the students’ interest, teachers should put in constant exertion in level-differentiated instruction, such as preparing enough materials for the lesson.
