q2 i? After 2-3 weeks of intensive course work, experimental groups of IAT course trainees showed higher percentages than control groups on eight oral-activity characteristics (from 48% vs 46% for information concentration to 82% vs 26% for logic connection of sentences); the authors read this as their speech having "improved greatly", but report no sample size, no pre-test and no statistical test. → Khairova and Egamberdieva 2016

q2 · i? · causal · r1

A forming pedagogic experiment with control and experimental groups of IAT (advanced-training) course trainees in Tatarstan. Table 1 reports, for each of eight oral-activity characteristics, a percentage for the control groups and one for the experimental groups, e.g. logic connection of sentences 26% (control) against 82% (experimental), and sufficient information concentration 46% against 48%. These are between-group figures, not before-and-after measurements of the same group; the article gives no number of participants, says nothing of how groups were formed, and reports no statistical test. The authors conclude that "the quality of their speech improved greatly".

"As we can see the result of intensive influence (during 2 -3 weeks) on the IAT courses trainees` oral activity the quality of their speech improved greatly: pronunciation norms, as well as inter phrase connection, notional structure, syntactic complexity, information intensity, etc."
