The strategies observed included positive reinforcement, clear and structured instructions, and the use of visual aids. The findings show that these strategies effectively improve students' cognitive, emotional, and behavioral engagement, as well as aspects of discipline such as compliance with rules, impulse control, and reduction of disruptive behavior.

This study concluded that supportive, structured, and empathetic behavior management strategies play an important role in creating an inclusive English learning environment for students with ADHD.]]>
