CLOZE or GAP-FILLING activities Version 2 by J. A. Campbell (Feb 1997)
Version 2 of this freeware program now provides a facility for the
creation of one's own passages directly from within the application.
CLOZE is well-established and highly effective technique for consolidating
one's grasp of the vocabulary and structures of a foreign language.
Cloze exercises are in regular use in many modern language classrooms
especially at the more advanced stages of learning.
Four types of activity are included in the program.
Passages are presented with gaps for the insertion of missing words or
phrases. Four types of exercise are available from the Activity Menu
(a) Random word omission
(b) Omission of selected words to test specific vocabulary
and structures
(c) "Secret Passage" - Reconstruction of entire passage starting
with a blank screen- Excellent group activity
(d) Retranslation Cloze- Omission of selected phrases for
translation into the foreign language
English, French, German, Italian and Scottish Gaelic examples are included.
Passages can easily be configured in any language using ASCII characters.
Both a Windows and a DOS version of the program are provided. The Windows
version uses MS Serif Font Size 12 for text display.
NB The DOS and Windows .CLZ files are not interchangeable if accented
characters are used. For accented texts keep the two versions strictly
separate.
The Windows version of the program requires the file VBRUN300 in the Windows
System Directory.
The VBDOS code is listed in the file CLOZE.TXT
