Resumen

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, ADHD for short, impedes submission to traditional teaching as it affects cognitive abilities such as executive function skills, memorization, and focus. In this case, how will kids with ADHD learn languages? This paper provides a solution by presenting the capabilities of a mobile language learning tool called AugmentedFocus, which is designed to support children with ADHD through the use of augmented reality. This association has allowed personalized instruction, accompanied by noticeable augmented reality elements so that learners, teachers, and administrators are able to use their mobile phones to comprehend instructional materials. The objective is to evaluate the application’s design, architecture, prototype, some testing results, and adjustments made during its implementation, while discussing other features within the context. More significantly, we aim to demonstrate how the mobile application can enhance engagement and retention in language learning among kids with ADHD. Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder obstructs dependency on traditional measures of teaching since it relates to cognitive skills like executory function skills, memory, and focus. In this case, how will kids with ADHD learn languages? This paper addresses the issue by demonstrating the effectiveness of a mobile language learning app, AugmentedFocus that is specifically created for ADHD kids and shows a Technology in education. © (2024), (Science and Information Organization).
