Both groups are the same through statistical analysis of several variables, such as age, parenting, mid-year English performance. Following the use of the Alpha Cronbach formula, the reliability coefficient of the pre-test language skill (0.801) was determined. It was calculated with the Alpha-Cronbach Formula.
