Summary
One hundred and forty senior high school students were divided into three matched groups according to the results of intelligence and English achievement tests, and taught English in the same LL with three different methods:IP (instant playback),AA (audio active), andLDP (long-delay playback). To verify the results, all three groups were given the same five Japanese-English translation tests and the same five speaking tests all through the experiment. As a result, theIP group gained higher scores in both tests than theAA group and theLDP group. The limiting values of the logistic curves indicate that theIP group ranks first, and theAA andLDP groups are not much different.
