AB - The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of one-year level-based English instructions in middle school on students’ achievement test scores. Specifically, the present study sought to investigate the differential effects of student level and school year on the students’ achievement test scores, by comparing the standardized scores on one pre-treatment diagnostic test and four post-treatment achievement tests conducted throughout one year. To this end, a total of 480 students in 16 intact classes (8 first-grade classes and 8 second-grade classes) at a local middle school in Busan were divided into three levels (i.e., beginning, intermediate, and advanced) based on their scores of each of the tests, and received level-based English instructions throughout one year. The major findings from two-way ANOVAs showed that the students in the beginning group improved significantly, whereas the advanced students did not. This suggests that the students at the lower level may benefit from level-based English instructions. Pedagogical implications and directions for further studies are discussed.
