The present project aims to provide one such general survey of outcomes in the
form of a meta-analysis.
The approach taken here is to extract program characteristics
from a wide variety of programs in Japan and Korea which have used a single criterion
measure for program evaluation, the Test of English for International Communication
(TOEIC).
The advantage of conducting the meta-analysis using a single criterion measure
Incomes from the comparability of the scale defining gain across different studies.
