A System for Generating Cloze Test Items from Russian-Language Text
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper studies the problem of automated educational test generation. We describe a procedure for generating cloze test items from Russian-language text, which consists of three steps: sentence splitting, sentence filtering, and question generation. The sentence filtering issue is discussed as an application of automatic summarization techniques. We describe a simple experimental system which implements cloze question generation and takes into account grammatical features of the Russian language such as gender and number.

The notion of expectancy grammar as a key to understanding the nature of psychologically real processes that underlie language use is introduced by Oller (1979). A central issue in this notion is that expectancy generating systems are constructed and modified in the course of language acquisition. Thus, one of the characteristics of language proficiency is that it consists of such an expectancy...

متن کاملAutomatic generation of cloze items for prepositions
Fill-in-the-blank questions, or cloze items, are commonly used in language learning applications. The benefits of personalized items, tailored to the user’s interest and proficiency, have motivated research on automatic generation of cloze items. This paper is concerned with generating cloze items for prepositions, whose usage often poses problems for non-native speakers of English. The quality...
