Cloze tests can be very effective for testing grammar, vocabulary, reading and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.learnclick.com\/blog\/6-ways-to-test-your-students-listening-comprehension\/\">listening comprehension<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.learnclick.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/clozes.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-440\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Matching exercises <\/strong>are a good way for quickly testing vocabulary, for example \u201cmatch the words with their antonym\u201d or \u201cmatch the words with their translation\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Drag &amp; Drop questions<\/strong> might be used if you don\u2019t want the student to have to type the answers.
