Dramatic Globeedit Dramatic Videos and English Performance Among Learners with ADHD Paperback

Teaching English to students with ADHD is often described as an uphill battle. In a traditional classroom, the very things these learners struggle with - sitting still, maintaining long-term focus, and following rigid instructions - are exactly what the curriculum typically demands in most African schools. For many language teachers, it can feel like a constant cycle of redirection and frustration, where the student's potential is buried under a layer of restlessness. Yet traditional English lessons often rely on auditory and text-heavy instruction, which can be overwhelming for the ADHD brain. Educators find it uniquely demanding to manage the inattention and hyperactivity of ADHD learners, which often leads to poor performance in core skills like listening. At Landmark College, Olorunfemi's study proved that when you replace "stay still and listen" with "watch, act, and connect," the results can be transformative. Dramatic videos serve as both "bait" and a "hook." They combine audio, visual, and emotional cues that help students with ADHD stay focused for longer periods. Therefore, learning becomes "easier" not by lowering the bar, but by changing the method of delivery.
