4.1.2  Results of the MANOVA 
 
A MANOVA was performed for the factor Group (three levels) and the 
six dependent variables.  The results of the MANOVA reveal a significant main 
effect for Group (F(6, 268) = 69.363, p = .0001).  Following this, six one-way 
ANOVAs were performed on the data to examine which of the six language 
proficiency measures show differences between the groups.  The results of the 
univariate ANOVAs for the six variables are reported below.
