KWL

English lexis structure needs to be practices many times. In order to be effective at knowing and guessing English words, we should interact with English language and try to use its vocabulary commonly. In order to be knowledgeable about word frequency, I think that we should be good at vocabulary.

Vocabulary Profiling

Prism is an effective for using common words. I don’t think that the same word has the same color in the different genres because its frequency always changes according to the genres.

Vocabulary Profiling

As a teacher, I could use vocabulary profile in order to determine which words that are used by students known frequently or commonly or at low level. Then, as in the video, I prepare a list of these words. It is possible for students to use vocabulary profile. Later, I would encourage my students to interact with each other and make a word list about frequency of the words, cooperation in the classroom environment can be formed and the most effective way of preparing vocabulary profile can be prepared. While vocabulary profile is used more in the teaching and learning activities, work cloud is usually used to be knowledgeable about the general idea of a text. Vocabulary profile can be used to develop learners’ vocabulary by teachers, but work cloud can be used as introduction before beginning to examine a topic deeply.

Vocabulary Profiling

Learning key words with computers things help us to know the word frequency level according to common English use and which can be known better. Computers are more effective than humans at finding key words. The use of a concordance is helpful to see words in context. Concordance helps met o see how some words are more common or frequent and also which words are fewer. When I used Concordance with my text, I saw ‘’digital’’ and ‘’download’’ are used more frequent in the text and then I saw ‘’claim’’ and ‘’continue’’ are used less frequent. Multi-concordance is helpful for students to find different use of words and their collocation in sentences. Teachers should train their students to use and benefit from these tools.
