What does CLOZE testing assess in a student's language skills?

Overall grammar proficiency
Ability to fill in omitted words from passages
Pronunciation accuracy
Listening comprehension

The correct answer is: Ability to fill in omitted words from passages

CLOZE testing primarily assesses a student's ability to comprehend a text by filling in omitted words from passages. This method requires students to use their understanding of context, vocabulary, and syntax to complete sentences meaningfully. By removing specific words from a passage, CLOZE tests evaluate how well a student can understand and infer the missing information based on the surrounding text. This exercise fosters critical thinking and contextual understanding, essential components of reading and language proficiency. While overall grammar proficiency, pronunciation accuracy, and listening comprehension are important language skills, they are not the primary focus of CLOZE testing. Instead, the test is centered on a student's reading comprehension abilities and their skill in constructing meaning from a given text.
