q2 · i? · quant-synthesis · r1

The meta-analysis addressed age of learners as its second research question across the 13 included studies, whose participants ranged from fifth graders to undergraduates (Table 8). The article reports "no pattern discovered" and no effect size is printed for this comparison, so no magnitude is reported.

"As for as the second research question regarding age of the learners is concerned there was no pattern discovered to indicate that MA LL intervention is useful only for certain age group. It has been found effective with learners irrespective of their age."
