Paraphrase result

The research and measurement tools used in this study were 11 cloze tests. The cloze tests, with the deletion rate of every 7th word, were made from the researcher’s previous writings which ranged from three months to one year old. Another person was instructed to make cloze tests form extracts that the researcher had already selected so as not to contain much quoted material. To allow what is called lead-in and lead-out, the first and the last sentences of each passage were left intact. The cloze tests constructed varied in length: while the shortest cloze test contained 34 items, the longest had 53 blanks.

The research and measurement tools in this research consist of 11 cloze  tests. The cloze tests, will be delete every 7th word, it made from the writing’s researcher before, which turn from three months to one year old. Another person was commanded to make the form of cloze tests which the researcher had already choosed so not too much contain of copy the material. To possible what the meaning of lead-in and lead-out, One and the ending sentence from each passage were full.

III. Main Finding

Original paragraph	Paraphrase result
As a result of his dissatisfaction with criterion-validation in language-testing and particularly in cloze testing where attempts of content-validation and construct validation have been in vain because it is not at all clear what cloze tests are measuring, the present researcher suggests a new validation technique, called ‘researcher research’,	The final of his disstisfaction with criterion validation in language-testing and especially for measuring of cloze tests which efforts of content-validation and repair validation is useless as it caused by not clear what the cloze tests measuring, this study show new validation technique, named ‘researcher-research’,

IV. Conclusion

Original paragraph

Paraphrase result

The validation technique presented here is not intended for use with cloze tests only. ‘Researcher research’ can guide the researcher in finding out whether other tests intended to measure reading and listening comprehension or to test knowledge of vocabulary and grammar appropriately serve what they are intended to. The evidence 93 such produced may be combined with other qualitative and quantitative data to support the validity of a test for a particular purpose.

The validation technique held that is not mean with cloze tests only. ‘researcher-research’ can guide  the researcher what the other tests can be measurement reading, and listening comprehension or can test a knowledge of vocabulary and grammar exactly. The proof of that 93 produced can combined with other qualitative and quantitative data as support of validity of test to part of goal.
