This project investigates different teaching strategies used to support students with ADHD diagnosis in an ESL classroom. Students that go through neurophysiological evaluations and receive treatment for ADHD diagnosis have increased over these last few years. With a clear increase in ADHD diagnoses, teachers are confronted with the challenge of adapting their pedagogical strategies in order to aid the unique needs of students with ADHD. This project explores what current research says about various teaching strategies, such as including the integration of motivational strategies, technology, and arts-oriented activities that aid students with ADHD diagnosis. Motivational strategies entail creating an encouraging and challenging learning environment such as setting goals and involving students in the learning process, which are essential for addressing the decreased motivation observed in students with ADHD. This project also investigates the benefits of technology-enhanced environments, emphasizing the positive impact of computers on the learning experience for students with ADHD. The integration of arts such as drama and drawing are mentioned as crucial strategies for increasing vocabulary acquisition, reducing behavioral issues, improving academic functioning and increasing the sustained attention of students with ADHD diagnosis. Overall, the study seeks to provide a comprehensive understanding of teaching strategies to support students with ADHD in the ESL classroom.
