q2 · i? · causal · r1

Oral reading test: participants read aloud a 405-word passage; two senior EFL lecturers scored the first 20 speech sounds of content words per target phoneme on a 3-point scale. Ability mean rose from 67.29 to 86.90, with t(df=30)=44.17 at p<.01 reported in Table 3.

"the mean scores in the pre-tests were 62.26 for EFL learners' knowledge of the target English phonemes, and 67.29 for EFL learners' ability to pronounce them"
