Independent-samples t-test comparing attitude questionnaire scores of CLIL (M = 40.60, SD = 5.256) and non-CLIL (M = 31.70, SD = 4.953) groups (n = 40). The article reports "r = .666 representing a large effect size".

"The results of the independent t -test (t (38) = 5.51, 95 % CI [5.63, 12.16], p = .000, r = .666 representing a large effect size) (Table 10) indicated that the CLIL significantly had a more positive attitude towards language lear ning than the non -CLIL group."
