Body

From http://www.eltresearchbites.com

Spaced repetition apps are touted as effective replacements for pen-and-paper flashcards, but are they effective for improving language proficiency? In this post, Mura Nava summarizes a 2016 article, “The relationship between the use of spaced repetition software with a TOEIC word list and TOEIC score gains,” by J.V. Bower and A. Rutson-Griffiths. The result: “A significant positive correlation was found between number of SRS repetitions and TOEIC overall score gains (i.e. listening & reading combined). A significant correlation was found for TOEIC listening gains but not for TOEIC reading gains. An effect size calculation showed SRS repetition accounted for approximately 11% of overall TOEIC score gains.”
