Bachelor 2019¶
Bachelor, J. W., & Barros García, M. J. (2019). A comparison of heritage learners and L2 learners of Spanish: A study on compliment sequences in the classroom. Journal of Foreign Language Education and Technology, 4(1). http://jflet.com/jflet/
q2 · i? · causal · r1
Pretest analysis of the heritage control and experimental groups at site two using the MCDCT. Both groups' mean scores, 74.29 and 79.05, exceeded the 70% proficiency threshold, described as "considered proficient in the area being measured". No effect size is printed.
"The control group mean score was 74.29 while the experimental group mean score was 79.05. According to Ross (2008), students in Language Arts are considered proficient in the area being measured when they receive a score of 70% or higher."
