From Text to Test, Automatically--An Evaluation of a Computer Cloze-Test Generator.

Coniam, David

Hong Kong Journal of Applied Linguistics, v3 n1 p41-60 Jun 1998

Examines the process of developing an English-as-a-Second-Language (ESL) cloze test by computer based on a language corpus. Two such tests developed and pilot-tested in Hong Kong were found to have test items that were not as good as they would have been if designed by a competent human, but better than expected.
