Subclaims¶

q2 i? Experimental groups that cooperatively adapted listening materials achieved significantly higher listening gain scores than the control group over a 17-session treatment. → Ghassemi 2013

q2 · i? · causal · r2

Quasi-experimental pretest-posttest control group study of 90 Iranian EFL seniors randomly assigned to two experimental groups and one control. A One-Way ANOVA on gain scores found significant differences between the three groups, with "13% improvement on students’ listening achievement" reported.

"Gain scores calculated show 13% improvement on students’ listening achievement. In order to see if there was any significant difference between the mean score of thr ee groups, a One-Way ANOV A was conducted on the gain score. The P value, at 2 and 87 degree of freedom was smaller than .05"

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Oral Language — outcome: instruction changes it

Related Claims¶

• Students' attitudes toward listening shifted from negative before the treatment to positive after cooperative materials adaptation — related
• Both the movie-adaptation and news-adaptation groups significantly outperformed the control group on listening posttest, and did not differ from each other — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
• Cooperative learning produced significantly higher posttest listening scores than traditional teaching in this study — related
