Descriptive result reported in section 4.2 on time of exposure to the foreign language: the applications gave the experimental group "610 more minutes of exposure to the English language" than the control group. The article links the experimental group's larger mean gains partly to this extra exposure.

"Through the applications, the students of the experimental group had 610 more minutes of exposure to the English language than the students of the control group."
