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 i2 Students studying incorrect and correct usage with verbal-plus-visual code corrected significantly more lexical errors than students studying verbal code only, with a moderate-to-large effect size. → Lee 2017
Evidence¶
Lee 2017¶
Lee, Sunjung. (2017). Raising EFL learners' awareness of L2 lexical errors and correct usage: A dual coding approach. English Teaching, 72(2), 29-50. https://doi.org/10.15858/engtea.72.2.201706.29
q3 · i2 · causal · r2
Quasi-experiment with six intact ninth-grade classes (pictorial n = 67, verbal n = 68) studying 25 confusing lexical pairs; repeated-measures analysis with L2 proficiency as covariate showed the pictorial group corrected more errors, "F (1,132) = 14.66, p < .001, η p 2 = . 10". Immediate means: 16.28 vs 12.90 of 25.
"significant main effect of pictorial elucidation with a moderate to large effect size, F (1,132) = 14.66, p < .001, η p 2 = . 10, demonstrating that students in the pictoria l group corrected significantly more errors than those in the verbal group."

- Multiple representations improve learning — a broader claim this one bears on
- Adding relevant pictures or graphics to text improves learning from it, with a small pooled effect on reading comprehension, though whether dual coding explains the benefit is disputed — a broader claim this one bears on
