This book investigates the issue of cloze-validity as a measure of
second language reading comprehension. It starts off by making a
distinction between general reading ability and the more specific
reading comprehension followed by a thorough review of the related
research on L2 reading comprehension and sorting out the confusion
in the literature in this categorization. A comprehensive account
of cloze procedure is presented discussing its origin, different
versions, its use for teaching and testing purposes, as well the
latest research on cloze as measures of readability, language
proficiency and second language reading. The book includes studies
conducted at several stages on validating cloze as a measure of
reading and interview and questionnaire techniques are applied to
investigate the validity of eight cloze tests, criterion reading
tests, and other cloze and reading tests in general. Two new cloze
tests, i.e. reader-centered cloze test and phrase cloze test, are
also introduced and researched as measures of reading ability. The
book concludes with suggestions for developing tests that can
better measure reading comprehension in light of recent research
insights on the complex and dynamic nature of reading. This book
will appeal to researchers, lecturers and graduate and
post-graduate students taking a course in Second Language
Acquisition, Applied Linguistics, TESOL, Language Assessment, and
Educational Measurement.
