32. ExPost Facto Study The focus of the study was to determine whether students who experienced LinguaFolio as an intervention in the foreign language classrooms achieved higher academic outcomes as measured by cumulative GPA and ACT scores in math, science, reading, and English in comparison to students who were not exposed to LinguaFolio

33. ex post facto examination of the relationship between goal setting and academic achievement – in order to identify if the goal setting skill integrated in the foreign language intervention increased student academic achievement – that in turn resulted in the development of the capacity for self-regulated learning

34. Statistical Procedures multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) multivariate regression analysis of variance (ANOVA) simple linear regression
