Cloze is a kind of examination practice usually used on students who take up English as a second language. The testing technique comprising of comprehension tests and "fill in the blanks" in a sentence, is called as a cloze. In a cloze, a student may be asked to read a passage and then he is asked to fill in the key words which are missing or deleted from the same passage when it is given to him in the form of a test.

The cloze technique is quite a good exercise in not only enhancing the vocabulary but also the memory of the student. As a test for reading skill, the word sneaked its way into English literature sometime before the year 1874. The cloze truly demonstrates the reading, writing and comprehension of the student in understanding the text to the best of his ability.
