In the spring and fall semesters of 2022, intervention studies were conducted in over 11 General English classes and with nearly 200 student participants (in their first and second years). Students in the intervention courses took part in weekly multi-modal assignments using Moodle, in which students practiced developing and expressing opinions about international topics. Students in the control group received no such practice. All students filled in the International Posture (IP) survey in the first and last class meeting of each semester.Results were analyzed statistically to identify whether the activities increased students' IP scores. Non-parametric analyses were employed. For the first semester, no statistical differences were identified in terms of IP gains in both the intervention and control groups. However, through background information gathered on the surveys it was found that students' experiences using English outside of classes in high school correlated with IP more strongly than experience abroad. Data collected in the fall semester is currently undergoing statistical analysis.

在2022年春季和秋季学期，干预研究在超过11个普通英语班进行，有近200名学生参与（一年级和二年级）。干预课程的学生使用Moodle参加每周的多模式作业，在作业中，学生练习对国际话题的看法。对照组的学生则没有这样的练习。所有学生在每学期的第一次和最后一次班会上填写国际姿态调查。对结果进行统计分析，以确定这些活动是否提高了学生的知识产权分数。采用非参数分析。在第一学期，干预组和对照组在知识产权收益方面没有统计学差异。然而，通过调查收集的背景信息发现，学生在高中课堂外使用英语的经历与知识产权的相关性比出国经历更强。秋季学期收集的数据目前正在进行统计分析。
