Abstract	Cloze procedure is a technique generally used to assess learners' reading comprehension by deleting words based on a criterion. Learners are then asked to supply the omitted words to complete the sentences as they read the text, guessing the words that may be inserted based on the context. Cloze procedure can also be used to assess, recycle, and measure learners' retention and production of previously learned vocabulary as well as improving learners' ability to benefit from the context clues in a text. This paper aims to determine pre-intermediate learners' views and experiences of using rational/selected deletion cloze, c-test and cloze-elide in recycling previously studied vocabulary on the coursebook. The participants of the study included twenty freshmen enrolled in the General English course offered in the Department of Economics at a state university in Turkey. The participants were provided with a different text, including the vocabulary in the coursebook, with different cloze procedures, every three weeks. It was ensured that the sentences in the texts contained enough semantic and syntax cues for the participants to determine the suitable words to complete the sentences. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with each participant every three weeks to discuss how different cloze procedures contributed to recycling vocabulary. The results of the study indicated that the participants valued rational/selected deletion cloze procedure more than the c-test and cloze-elide as it enabled them not only to supply the suitable word in the blank but also to produce the word rather than to recognize it. The results also indicated that c-test and cloze-elide procedures were determined to be difficult and did not serve the aim of recycling vocabulary.
