Evidence¶

Mohammad Saber Khaghaninezhad & Ghasem Jafarzadeh 2014¶

Mohammad Saber Khaghaninezhad & Ghasem Jafarzadeh. (2014). Investigating the Effect of Reduced Forms Instruction on EFL Learners' Listening and Speaking Abilities. English Language Teaching, 7(1). https://doi.org/10.5539/elt.v7n1p159

q2 · i? · causal · r2

Two paired-samples t-tests, one per group of 25, on the general listening comprehension test. Experimental means rose from 7.44 to 10.36 and control means from 7.29 to 8.90; the article reports both groups made statistically significant improvements after 10 weeks.

"Tables 6 and 7 are the reports of the used paired-samples t-tests which reveal that there were significant differences between the experimental and the control participants performances on general listening comprehension pre and post-tests (p = .000 <. 05)."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Auditory Processing — outcome: instruction changes it
• Oral Language — outcome: instruction changes it
