concordance

Concordance Software
What is a concordance? What is a corpus? Today we are going to find out about this. These are software programs that allow students and teachers of English a resource for examples of English like a dictionary. But unlike a dictionary it does not have any meanings, but only examples. You can find a large number of examples and use this for learning vocabulary use and can help you in your writing.British National Corpus Websitehttp://www.natcorp.ox.ac.uk/Ckick on the link below to register for more tools:http://bncweb.info/After looking at these sites for a short time you can build you own list of vocabulary and expressions for your own study. Your homework is to put together a list of 15 words and expressions and write them down in a list; on the left side write down the word or expression and on the right side copy the example from the corpus. Write this down in MSWORD and send me your document by email to robgchar@gmail.com.After you finish write down your opinion and thoughts of using this service in your blog.Good luck!
