q2 · i? · causal · r1

Quasi-experiment with 40 Iranian intermediate EFL learners (experimental n=20, control n=18/20 as printed) taught over 12 sessions; independent samples t-test on post-test totals gave t = 2.495, p = .017, mean difference 9.50000, favouring the video group — "a significant difference is observed". No effect size is printed.

"The independent samples t -test was calcu lated with the T. Value of 2.495 and the P. value equalling 0.017. These findings demonstrate that a significant difference is observed."
