In English reading, Banked Cloze has always been the key and difficult point in examination. Students generally report that is quite to handle. The purpose of this study clarify relationship between reading comprehension metacognitive strategies Cloze, understand how college students use test, so as find effective methods help students’ their CET.

Individuals with dyslexia show deficits in phonological abilities, rapid automatized naming, short-term/working memory, processing speed, and some aspects of sensory visual processing. There is currently one report the literature that individuals also impairments linguistic prediction. The current study sought to investigate prediction language dyslexia. Forty-one adults 43 typically-developing...

Scripts represent knowledge of stereotypical event sequences that can aid text understanding. Initial statistical methods have been developed to learn probabilistic scripts from raw text corpora; however, they utilize a very impoverished representation of events, consisting of a verb and one dependent argument. We present a script learning approach that employs events with multiple arguments. U...

Abstract The current study sought to examine the validity of a General English Achievement Test (GEAT), administered university students in fall semester 2018–2019 academic year, by hybridizing differential information (DIF) and distractor function (DDF) analytical models. Using purposive sampling method, from target population undergraduate studying different disciplines at Islamic Azad Univer...

Recent success of deep learning models for the task of extractive Question Answering (QA) is hinged on the availability of large annotated corpora. However, large domain specific annotated corpora are limited and expensive to construct. In this work, we envision a system where the end user specifies a set of base documents and only a few labelled examples. Our system exploits the document struc...

This event-related potential study examined the impact of imitating an unfamiliar accent on the processing of spoken words embedded in sentential contexts produced in that accent. The cloze probability effect in two groups of southern French speakers after they had to either listen to or imitate sentences spoken by a Belgian French speaker was tested. Speakers who did not imitate the unfamiliar...

We investigate whether a medical writer can simplify text by only changing the grammatical structure. Based on a user study, we find that while the sentences look simpler after simplification, they are not easier to understand. For grammatical simplification, better tools are needed to provide more concrete guidance and feedback. Introduction Providing text to patients and health information co...

Event prediction aims to predict the most possible following event given a chain of closely related context events. Previous methods based on pairs or entire may ignore much structural and semantic information. Current datasets for prediction, naturally, can be used supervised learning. chains are either from document-level procedural action flow, news sequences under same column. This paper le...
