Subclaims¶

q2 i? One-way ANOVA on rule-bound posttest accuracy showed significant differences among focused, unfocused, and control groups (F = 102.25, p = .00), with post hocs showing focused > unfocused > control. → Alavinia 2018

q2 · i? · causal · r2

One-way ANOVA (Table 13: F = 102.25, Sig. 0.00) with LSD post hoc comparisons (Table 14: focused-unfocused 0.36, focused-control 0.44, unfocused-control 0.07*) on rule-bound posttest accuracy, n = 15 per group.

"the learners of focused rule-bound group produced more accurate language than the learners of unfocused and control rule -bound groups on rendering task post -test. Also, it must be noted that the participants of unfocused rule -bound group outperformed the participants of the control rule-bound group"

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• Focused audio-appended reading tasks produced significantly higher written accuracy than unfocused tasks for the rule-bound structure (passive voice) on the posttest — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
• On the non-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
