Tailored Cloze: Improved with Classical Item Analysis Techniques.

Brown, James Dean

Language Testing, v5 n1 p19-31 Jun 1988

The reliability and validity of a cloze procedure used as an English-as-a-second-language (ESL) test in China were improved by applying traditional item analysis and selection techniques. The 'best' test items were chosen on the basis of item facility and discrimination indices, and were administered as a 'tailored cloze.' 29 references listed. (Author/LMO)
