Abstract

This study examines that motivational effect of enrollment in a study abroad program on English achievement. Three months after signing up, Michigan English Placement Test scores of Japanese college students about to go abroad were compared to those of a stratified random sample of students not enrolled. An independent one-tailed t-test with a 0.05 region of rejection was conducted on the means with the results being p=.27. Since the resulting probability was greater than 0.05. the null hypothesis failed to be rejected. It is concluded that the enrollees show no significantly greater level of achievement than the control group.
