Evidence¶

Mohammad Mohammadipour & Sabariah MD Rashid 2015¶

Mohammad Mohammadipour & Sabariah MD Rashid. (2015). The Impact of Task-Based Instruction Program on Fostering ESL Learners' Speaking Ability: A Cognitive Approach. Advances in Language and Literary Studies, 6(2). https://doi.org/10.7575/aiac.alls.v.6n.2p.113

q1 · i? · causal · r2

Student self-reports from an eleven-week task-based speaking programme, given in the article's discussion without a stated collection method: reports on the pre-task consciousness-raising analysis of TED talks (section 4.1.1), and reports from the researcher's informal interviews on self/peer evaluation of video-recorded speaking tasks at the post-task stage (section 4.3.1). The benefits the article ascribes to planning and to presenting in front of peers are the researchers' own interpretation, not reported student views. No effect size is printed for these reports.

"The students reported that adopting a discovery approach through analyzing the TED-Talks was motivating as it helped them to form and test hypotheses about spoken language rules."
