| Sumario: | Social skills are a fundamental part of the successful development of adolescents. Yet, the diverse circumstances within the classroom context, may provoke that social relationships are not always positive. In the case of the students diagnosed with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), it is frequent that they have poor-developed social skills due to the symptomatology they present. Regarding the combined type, the inattention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity of these students often cause their inadequate integration within the classroom, resulting in rejection by the rest of the group. These constraints need to be attached in the secondary education setting, including the foreign language classrooms. Contemporary active methodologies such as Communicative Language Teaching, Cooperative Learning, and Gamification endorse features that contribute to the addressing of ADHD necessities’ when establishing interpersonal relationships. Therefore, throughout this dissertation, it is proposed an educational breakout to enhance and improve the social skills of ADHD students through cooperative participation in the English classroom. |
