q2 i? The difference between pre-test and post-test oral production scores was not statistically significant (p = .094), so the intervention was insufficient for production. → Topal 2018

Evidence¶

Topal 2018¶

Topal, İ.H. (2018). An investigation into the recognition and production of pitch patterns of if-clauses by turkish pre-service teachers of english. Journal of Language and Linguistic Studies, 14(4), 285-300. https://eric.ed.gov/?id=EJ1201884

q2 · i? · causal · r1

Paired-samples t-test on oral production scores of the same 61 participants (pre-test mean 5.8962, post-test mean 6.7213; t = -1.70, p = .094). The article states the results "were found to be insignificant" for production. Equivalence was not tested.

"while the same cannot be expressed for the production levels of the participants as the results were found to be insignificant. It can be argued here that the intervention (or the remedial session) was proven to be effective in terms of ameliorating the participants’ pitch -related problems in relation to recognition but was insufficient for the production"
