Abstract

In cloze procedure the reader must replace, with some degree of accuracy, the systematically deleted words. Responses to cloze deletions are influenced by the reader's understanding of syntax, morphology and lexical items.

Much of the cloze research which followed Wilson Taylor's first publication on the subject in 1953 has centered on methods of cloze construction as an evaluation instrument with emphasis on test validity, scoring and interpretation. Studies assessing the potential of cloze as an instructional device for improving reading skills are more recent and less conclusive.
