English Majors
Two of the once-weekly classes of the English majors were used for the experiment, their extensive reading class (I-B) and their listening/pronunciation class (I-F). For the extensive reading course, students in all groups were required to read over 1000 pages a year and to write summaries of what they read in a notebook kept for that purpose. Thus the three treatments were only different in the materials used for the in-class component.
