description The study aimed at identifying the level of use of modern teaching methods by primary teachers of pupils with learning difficulties in Saudi Arabia. It also aimed to know if there are statistically significant differences in the level of use of teaching methods in comparison to the elementary school teachers. In order to achieve the objectives of the study, three instruments namely survey, observation, interview were used. Survey was distributed on a sample of randomly selected English teachers and instructors (n = 51) from the schools in the northern border region of Saudi Arabia. The researcher used three modern strategies, namely cross-teaching, training method, multi-sensory. The researcher used the Analytical Descriptive Curriculum to test the hypotheses. The results indicated that the use of modern methods is followed moderately and the teachers are found to be intermediate level users who need to be guided and encouraged to further advance their understandings about the latest intervention methods so that the desired objectives can be achieved.
