Conversational Cloze as a Measure of Oral Ability.

Hughes, Arthur

English Language Teaching Journal, v35 n2 p161-68 Jan 1981

Concerns research in the use of cloze tests to measure a particular language skill when a standardized paper-and-pencil test is not an obviously appropriate validating instrument. The conversational cloze test proved to be superior to a written or prose cloze test in measuring the students' oral ability. Statistical tables are given. (Author/PJM)
