Participants

Opportunity sample was used, as it was convenient for me to choose the subjects from my school. The sample is 12 Russian IB students, who are 15-17 years old, both genders and almost fluent English speakers. They were randomly divided into two groups which had no interaction between each other. The target population in my case are non-native English-speaking IB students.
