ABSTRACT
The Cloze procedure has been in the limelight in diagnosing learner deficiencies and instructing students in reading. This paper gives a practical guide on how the procedure can be used in teaching parts of speech. Illustrations are given based on the parts of speech (nouns, pronouns adjectives, verbs, adverbs, prepositions and conjunctions). A lot of hard work goes into the preparation; however, a good teacher usually puts in his best in making sure that the students profit maximally from his teaching.
