Blog #5: Corpora, Concordance, Collocations, Word Frequency
- Check out the following sites and report back on how they could be used to inform materials development and classroom instruction:
▶ Compleat Lexical Tutor
Website: http://www.lextutor.ca/
This site provides a variety of different skills to analyze the language. It seems it can be very useful for someone who is studying English for having a good score based on tests such as TOEIC, TOEFL and TEPS. Also it is a very strong stie for having numerous vocabulary.
▶ Corpus of Contemporary American English
Website: http://corpus.byu.edu/coca/
In my opinion, this site can be a best website for identifying the word which has many different meanings in a different sentence. One of the important characteristics in terms of learning English is to use the right word in a right position. It takes quite a long time to figure it out when the learner is just trying to memorize it. Because if the learner just tries to memorize the words but it has not been used before, it can cause a problem when it comes in real life. To avoid having this kind of problem, the learner or the teacher can use this website wisely.
▶ Wordle
Website: http://www.wordle.net/
We can use this site for presenting the keywords from the text easily. I mean as the keywords, it comes frequently in the text to say about the message.
