Another Turn in the Conversation: What Does Cloze Measure?

Jonz, John

TESOL Quarterly, v24 n1 p61-83 Spr 1990

Eight cloze passages were analyzed for the text quantity required to cue closure and the linguistic category of the deleted word. The results indicate that standard fixed-ratio cloze procedures are not erratic in their selection of item types and are generally consistent in the ways they measure language knowledge and comprehension.
