Using Information Gap Tasks to Improve R

 
Responding to the Research Question 
To test the null hypothesis raised based on the research question of the study
i.e., there is no significant difference between the effect of information-gap 
tasks on FD and FI EFL learners’ reading, the researchers intended to conduct 
an independent samples t-test. Prior to this, the normality of the distribution of 
these scores within each group had to be checked. Going back to Table 4, the 
skewness ratios of both groups fell within the acceptable range of ±1.96 (-.16 / 
.40 = -.41 and -.01 / .44 = -.03) thus signifying that the score distributions in 
both groups represented normality. Therefore, running a t-rest was legitimized. 
As Table 5 below indicates, with the F value of .001 at the significance level 
of .97 being larger than .05, the variances between the two groups were not 
significantly different. Therefore, the results of the t-test with the assumption of 
homogeneity of the variances are reported here. The results (t = -.13, p = .89

>.05) indicate that there was no significant difference between the mean scores 
of the two groups in the posttest.
It can thus be concluded that the presupposed null hypothesis was not re-
jected meaning that information-gap tasks bear no significantly different im-
pact on the FD and FI learners’ reading.
