Inclusive education proposals for ADHD adolescent girls in EFL in the high school

Abstract

Attention to diversity is a current issue which must be considered as a crucial and relevant aspect to deal with in education. The present work consists in providing inclusive education proposals addressed to a classroom of English as foreign language in the whole stage of Compulsory Secondary Education with adolescent girls with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). After doing a research on the legal framework covering the issue of attention to diversity, especially in Castilla y León (Spain), dealing with the aspects to be taken into account concerning ADHD, particularly girls with the disorder, and studying in detail the educational approaches which seem to be more beneficial and useful to meet the demands of diversity, this dissertation gives inclusive proposals as teaching projects to be implemented in the classroom. These projects consist of three parts: the explanation of some activities following the approaches selected, their benefits for ADHD adolescent girls, and some drawbacks of the approaches.
