Cloze texts are an effective tool for engaging students in reading and comprehension activities, especially in the context of learning about fashion history and social changes. By requiring students to fill in missing keywords, they pay closer attention to the text, which enhances their understanding and retention of the material.

It not only helps students learn about fashion history but also encourages them to think about the impact of fashion on society and the environment. Incorporating such texts in different teaching phases, from introducing new concepts to reinforcing learned material, can cater to various learning styles. Students can work individually or in groups to solve the cloze, promoting both independent learning and collaborative skills. Additionally, discussing the completed cloze text in class can spark conversations about the broader implications of fashion trends, further enriching the educational experience.
