q2 · i? · causal · r2

Comparison of the experimental group (DDL-based CL-inspired instruction, N=26) against the control group (traditional instruction, N=26) on post-test and delayed post-test performance two weeks after instruction ended. The article reports the DDL-based CL instruction "led to greater learning gains and better retenti on of knowledge"; no effect size or test statistic is printed for this contrast.

"yet the latter led to greater learning gains and better retenti on of knowledge"

Related Claims¶

• Both traditional and DDL-based CL-inspired instruction significantly improved learners' knowledge of the English vertical prepositions over, above, under and below — related
• Turkish postpositions do not map one-to-one onto English over/above and under/below, which may cause difficulty for Turkish L2 learners — related
