Hamidreza Fatemipour & Shiva Hemmati. (2015). Impact of Consciousness-Raising Activities on Young English Language Learners’ Grammar Performance. English Language Teaching, 8(9). http://dx.doi.org/10.5539/elt.v8n9p1

q2 · i? · causal · r2

Twenty-item five-point Likert questionnaire administered to the experimental group (Cronbach's alpha = .87 across 20 items). The article reports 80% agreement on item 5 (usefulness for grammar scores) and more than 83% on item 16 (cheery, active class atmosphere).

"As Table 8 shows, at least 50% of the participants strongly agreed or agree with all the statements. It shows that the learners had positive attitudes toward the consciousness-raising technique."
