Abstract

Teaching is a multidimensional profession in which all its affiliates have one goal in mind: the improvement of the learning process to ensure the quality of learning provided to the learner. One of the pillars to achieve that goal is the continuous assessment and evaluation of learning to decide whether it took place or not, and to plan for future endeavours. Unfortunately, many language instructors are simply content with simple addition and subtraction of the data i.e., grades. However, to obtain proper evaluation the use of more elaborate analytical tools such as statistical analysis is a must. Statistical analysis in education is useful in generating inferences based on the data gathered through the implementation of proper statistical tools with context the consideration of various factors e.g., learners’ psyche in mind to generate statistically significant evaluation to better comprehend current learning and as a by-product improve the learning quality provided. This paper aims at providing a literature-reviewed explanation of the ways by which Statistical tools, when used properly, can play a major factor in the enhancement of the learning process, the development of teachers as researchers and the critical benefits of a statistical approach in the field of foreign language teaching.
