Carroll (1962) discovered that motivation and aptitude were the affective variables of student in foreign language learning, while IQ was not a crucial criteria contributing to the successful learning. As for external variables, Fathman (1976) found that environmental factors such as class size and school location significantly affect the learning progress. ]]> 2018-10-04 06:47:11 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_lee8/2019M3T11/wish/288978558 B https://padlet.com/sarah_lee8/2019M3T11/wish/288978619 Other studies have looked into the possibility of using standardized tests to predict academic success. Studies by Mason (1971) and Moran and Erion (1978) suggested that neither Michigan Test of English Language Proficiency nor the Comprehensive English Language Test (CELT) can predict students' GPA. However, the same study by Moran and Erion (1978) showed that CELT was a possible predictor of the number of credits earned.]]> 2018-10-04 06:47:25 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_lee8/2019M3T11/wish/288978619 https://padlet.com/sarah_lee8/2019M3T11/wish/288978871 Part B
Several studies examined the effectiveness of standardised English tests in predicting students' academic performance. Maron (1971), and Moran and Erion (1978) found such tests to be of no predictive power on GPA . However Moran and Erion showed that it can predict the number of credits earned.

Carroll(1962)studied individual characteristics， found that the motivation and aptitude affect the students while IQ of students does not. In another way，studies targeted on external variables affecting learners，showed that the class size，school size.and school location are all factors affecting the successful learning of English. https://padlet.com/sarah_lee8/2019M3T11/wish/288980207 2018-10-04 06:53:24 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_lee8/2019M3T11/wish/288980207
