Subclaims¶

q2 i? One-way ANOVA on non-rule-bound posttest accuracy showed significant differences among focused, unfocused, and control groups (F = 52.28, p = .00), with focused > unfocused > control in post hocs. → Alavinia 2018

q2 · i? · causal · r1

One-way ANOVA (Table 15: F = 52.28, Sig. 0.00) with LSD post hocs (Table 16: focused-unfocused 0.27, focused-control 0.34, unfocused-control 0.07*) on preposition accuracy, n = 15 per group.

"the participants of focused non -rule-bound group outperformed the learners of unfocused and control non-rule-bound groups in terms of accuracy of their performance on rendering task posttest of the study. In addition, there was a significant difference between accuracy of performance of unfocused and control non -rule-bound groups"

Related Claims¶

• Focused audio-appended reading tasks produced significantly higher written accuracy than unfocused tasks for the non-rule-bound structure (prepositions) on the posttest — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
• Focused audio-appended reading tasks produced significantly higher written accuracy than unfocused tasks for the rule-bound structure (passive voice) on the posttest — related
• On the rule-bound posttest, focused outperformed both unfocused and control groups, and unfocused outperformed control — related
• Before treatment, focused, unfocused, and control groups did not differ significantly in accuracy for either structure type — related
