q2 · i? · causal · r1

Re-testing at the end of the school year compared the experimental group taught with interactive technologies against the control group taught traditionally. The article reports both groups grew, but "the greatest increase is observed in the experimental group". No effect size or test statistic is printed.

"Therefore, the average level of th e development of communicative competence has grown in both study groups. However, the greatest increase is observed in the experimental group comparing with the control one."
