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.
q2 i? In an experimental comparison, learners instructed through IELTS listening tasks scored significantly higher on a listening post-test than learners instructed through TOEFL listening materials. → Ali Panahi 2012

q2 · i? · causal · r1
Experimental post-test comparison (Table 6 reports t = 2.481, df = 52, Sig. 0.004) between the IELTS-Instructed group (n = 32) and TOEFL-Instructed group (n = 235); the study reports "IELTS-task-instructed learners outperformed the TOEFL-materials-instructed learners on listening" with post-test means of 16.01 and 8.12.
"we visibly notice that there is significant difference ( P < 0.004; Mean=16.01 and 8.12) between the performance of the two groups. In effect, IELTS-task-instructed learners outperformed the TOEFL-materials-instructed learners on listening."
