Shiri 2015¶

Saeed Shiri. (2015). The Application of Podcasting as a Motivational Strategy to Iranian EFL Learners of English: A View toward Listening Comprehension. Advances in Language and Literary Studies, 6(3). http://dx.doi.org/10.7575/aiac.alls.v.6n.3p.155

q2 · i? · causal · r1

Independent-samples t-test comparing post-test listening scores of the podcast group (n = 17) and control group (n = 16) in a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest design. The article reports "the p value of .018 is much lower than .05", a statistically significant difference; no effect size is printed.

"As shown in Table 4.3., the mean scores of the experimental and control groups are 14.76 and 13.62, respectively."
