Multiple-choice cloze items constitute a prominent tool for assessing students’ competency in using the vocabulary of a language correctly. Without a proper estimation of students’ competency in using vocabulary, it will be hard for a computer-assisted language learning system to provide course material tailored to each individual student’s needs. Computer-assisted item generation allows the cr...

This paper studies the problem of automated educational test generation. We describe a procedure for generating cloze test items from Russian-language text, which consists of three steps: sentence splitting, sentence filtering, and question generation. The sentence filtering issue is discussed as an application of automatic summarization techniques. We describe a simple experimental system whic...

This article reports on case-study research which explored English as a second language (ESL) learners’ perceptions of the role played by the literary cloze activity in the development of their language and literary awareness. The subjects, four students from a variety of language, culturaland literarybackgrounds, attended a semester-long university ESL subject which adopted a language-based ap...

Cloze test is widely adopted in language exams to evaluate students’ language proficiency. In this paper, we propose the first large-scale human-designed cloze test dataset CLOTH 1, in which the questions were used in middle-school and high-school language exams. With the missing blanks carefully created by teachers and candidate choices purposely designed to be confusing, CLOTH requires a deep...

Reading comprehension ability consists of multiple cognitive processes, and cloze tests have long been claimed to measure this ability as a whole. However, since the introduction of cloze test, different varieties of it have been proposed by the testers. Thus, the present study was an attempt to examine the relatedness of Cloze-Elide test, Multiple-choice (MC) cloze test, and C-test as three di...

Do negative quantifiers like "few" reduce people's ability to rapidly evaluate incoming language with respect to world knowledge? Previous research has addressed this question by examining whether online measures of quantifier comprehension match the "final" interpretation reflected in verification judgments. However, these studies confounded quantifier valence with its impact on the unfolding ...

We describe the automated generation and use of 69,326 comprehension cloze questions and 5,668 vocabulary matching questions in the 2001-2002 version of Project LISTEN’s Reading Tutor used by 364 students in grades 1-9 at seven schools. To validate our methods, we used students’ performance on these multiple-choice questions to predict their scores on the Woodcock Reading Mastery Test. A model ...
