- Abstract
The results of Null Hypothesis Significance Testing can only answer the question whether there is an effect. Effect sizes are commonly used to evaluate the magnitude of the effect and practical significance. Taking eight primary studies as an example concerning the effect of formulaic sequences used in English writing, this paper calculated and interpreted effect sizes and the practical significance of each study. Effect sizes have potential advantages in evaluating practical significance in foreign language research.
