Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q3 i? The no-captions group showed a statistically significant pre-test to post-test increase, indicating improvement without caption support. → Behroozizad and Majidi 2015

- Captioning mode significantly affected listening comprehension, with full captions outperforming keyword captions and both outperforming no captions — related
- Providing captions of any type improved general listening comprehension of EFL students compared with no captions — reports the opposite
- EFL learners who listened to humorous songs gained significantly on a listening comprehension test while a control group taught without the songs did not, though the groups were not compared directly — a broader claim this one bears on
- Full captions significantly improved EFL learners' general listening comprehension from pre-test to post-test — related
- Keyword captions significantly improved EFL learners' general listening comprehension from pre-test to post-test — related
