The reliability of the scales was relatively high and reached the .7 threshold
indicated in the literature (Dörnyei-Taguchi 2010). The high reliability coef¬
ficients of all scales made further analysis — such as the comparison of student
and teacher responses — possible and no scales had to be left out from the
analysis.

6.5.2 Descriptive statistics

As a second step, the averages of participants’ responses were calculated; these
are presented in Table 42. From the averages of responses, it becomes apparent
that EFL teachers seem to be of the opinion that extramural English activities
make a major contribution to EFL students’ EFL skills, which is well illus¬
trated not only by the high average (M=4.81) but also by the low standard
deviation (SD=.35).
