q3 i3 Time spent in the software strongly correlates with words learned (r = .80) and words remembered (r = .79). → Yelbay Yılmaz 2015

Evidence¶

Yelbay Yılmaz 2015¶

Yelbay Yılmaz, Y. (2015). Learning vocabulary in a foreign language: A computer software based model attempt. Journal of Language and Linguistic Studies, 11(2), 23-38. https://eric.ed.gov/?id=EJ1105162

q3 · i3 · causal · r1

Correlational analysis of the 36 experimental group students' software usage logs against post-test scores found "r = .80 (p<0.001)" for learning; a parallel analysis of delayed post-test scores found r = .79 (p<0.001) for retention.

"The result r = .80 (p<0.001) shows a strong positive correlation. It can be concluded that the lo nger students use the software the more words they can learn."
