Subclaims¶

q2 i? Seventh-grade EFL students taught speaking with video clips in Small Group Activities scored significantly higher on the post-test than students taught with video clips in Individual Activities (67.27 vs 51.29, sig. 2-tailed 0.000). → Muslem 2017

Evidence¶

Muslem 2017¶

Muslem, A., Mustafa, F., Usman, B., & Rahman, A. (2017). The Application of Video Clips with Small Group and Individual Activities to Improve Young Learners' Speaking Performance. Teaching English with Technology, 17(4), 25-37. https://eric.ed.gov/?id=EJ1159095

q2 · i? · causal · r1

Independent t-test on post-test speaking scores from a quasi-experimental pre-test/post-test study with two intact classes (SGA n=33, IA n=34). The t-test gave t = 5.032 with sig. 2-tailed 0.000, so "H 0 is rejected and H a is accepted". No effect size was printed.

"It can clearly be seen that the level of significance (sig. 2 tailed) is 0.000 < 0. 05. Therefore, it has been proven that H 0 is rejected and H a is accepted."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• Both groups improved their speaking scores from pre-test to post-test, but the Small Group Activity group's mean gain (25.35) was larger than the Individual Activity group's (11.64) — related
• The Small Group Activity group outperformed the Individual Activity group on all five measured speaking aspects (vocabulary, fluency, grammar, pronunciation, comprehension) — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
