The study investigated the effectiveness of increasing ALT for college students' achievement in Kuwait. In Phase 1, 37 students participated (22, experimental; 15, control); in Phase 2, 19 students participated (8, sub-experimental; 11, sub-control). Several experimental research methods used in conducting this study, including development of a designed class schedule; and several applications in the data collection process. Data analysis and results revealed a 100.54% change in Phase 1 experimental group, while indicating a positive weak correlation when ALT increased in the Phase 2 sub-experimental group. Finally, the conclusion and recommendations offer insights for administrators, instructors, and for future research. (Contains 3 tables.)
