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 i? Additional analyses indicate a small advantage for SCMC interaction on productive and written measures, and a small advantage for FTF interaction on receptive and oral learning outcomes. → Nicole Ziegler 2016
Evidence¶
Nicole Ziegler 2016¶
Nicole Ziegler. (2016). SYNCHRONOUS COMPUTER-MEDIATED COMMUNICATION AND INTERACTION: A Meta-Analysis. Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 38(3). https://doi.org/10.1017/S027226311500025X
q3 · i? · quant-synthesis · r?
Moderator analysis within the meta-analysis (k = 14) splitting outcome measures by modality. The review reports "a small advantage for SCMC interaction on productive and written measures" and a corresponding small FTF advantage on receptive and oral outcomes. No numeric effect sizes are printed in the available text, so impact is null.
"additional analyses indicating a small advantage for SCMC interaction on productive and written measures and a small advantage for FTF interaction on receptive and oral learning outcomes"
Discussion¶
Learner Variables¶
- Communication Skills — outcome: instruction changes it
- Oral Language — outcome: instruction changes it
