This study examines the effects of ability grouping in university TOEIC classes on academic achievement. The students are divided into three experiment groups, i.e. beginning, intermediate and advanced, based on their CBT scores. The research questions are as follows: (1) Are there any differences between the Computer-Based TOEIC(CBT) scores before and after a treatment; (2) Are there any effects of ability grouping on students' TOEIC achievement? The CBT scores taken from a given semester of both the experiment and control groups are compared with their scores after the treatment respectively, to evaluate improvement of each group. Statistical analyses are employed such as independent two samples t-test and one-way ANOVA. The results show that the CBT scores of all the three experiment groups have significantly increased. leading to the conclusion that ability grouping in TOEIC classes may positively have influenced students' CBT achievement.
