A Text-Driven Method for the Deletion Procedure in Cloze Passages.
Farhady, H.; Keramati, M. N.
Language Testing, v13 n2 p190-207 Jul 1996
Proposes a text-driven method for the deletion procedure in cloze passages. An appropriate passage for the proficiency level of the subjects was developed, with the standard cloze and eight different versions. Results suggest that this method is superior to the fixed-ratio deletion method on some grounds and that the differences among subjects' performance on different versions of cloze tests were significant.
