An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : dbkwik.webdatacommons.org associated with source dataset(s)

A Massive-Context Clozed Deletion cards (shortened to MCD) is basically a paragraph in the target language cut-and-pasted into a flash card program (like Anki). Multiple words in the paragraph are "clozed", i.e. they are hidden so you'll have to guess their meaning. The term was popularized by the All Japanese All The Time blog. As native materials are required, MCDs work best for intermediate learners (although mini or micro-MCDs are also possible, and you can even use MCDs to practice grammar).

  • A Massive-Context Clozed Deletion cards (shortened to MCD) is basically a paragraph in the target language cut-and-pasted into a flash card program (like Anki). Multiple words in the paragraph are "clozed", i.e. they are hidden so you'll have to guess their meaning. The term was popularized by the All Japanese All The Time blog. MCDs encourage learners to read native materials in the target language. The problem with native materials is that a word or phrase often appears once, but not again later on, so you'll quickly forget its meaning. With MCDs, you read native materials with the benefit of repetition. As native materials are required, MCDs work best for intermediate learners (although mini or micro-MCDs are also possible, and you can even use MCDs to practice grammar).
