Then, the df is still 29 so t-_value of df is 2.462. As the t-_value of experimental class is higher than t-_value of df (9.180>2.462). Because of the results of these T-_values  through Paired-samples T-_test, researcher concludes that using visual material such as JADS for students in the classroom is effective to improve their comprehension for present tenses.
