Which is a 'stronger' collocate of MATERIALS in this text?

I think the second sentence we can easily see the usage the word and we understand what materials mean because the sentence consists of examples to make the meaning clear.

Try to explore the collocates of "MATERIALS" - compare the collocates 'ENHANCED" with "AUTHENTIC" (Find these words in the word cloud and click on them - the KWIC of each will appear in sections above the MATERIALS KWIC

There are 4 collacates for enhanced and 5 for authentic.When we compare these words we see that there are several meaning in the context.The same thing happened both of the words but there are not too many meanings for these like the word materials.

Take the word "MATERIALS" as an example -- what lexico-grammatical information does the KWIC suggest about the word?

Lexico gramatical means a combination of vocabulary (lexus) and grammar. It is a term which is intended to be comprehensive for the make-up of an utterance, though it does not include extra-linguistic factors such as tone and gesture. As I said in the first question the sentences structure’ help the students to understand both the meaning and usage of the word gramatically.

What extra information does a concordance provide that you couldn't get from the vocabulary profile?

It s a very useful thing that providing the meaning in the sentences.So we both see and understand the usage of the word and we learn what it means.Using such context seems smart and creative.

What other information from the original text would be useful to see as part of such a vocabulary profile?

Also there could be the meanings and brief explanation some words that are repeated too much in the text so that the students learn what the word mean and whenever the students see the vord they can associate the vord with the text and they can learn the text in such a way.

How can such a view of a text be useful in teaching English?

We can show the importance of the words easier and such kind of visualization is useful fort he words be memorable that is seen a puzzle and takes the students interests.

Do the the top five words in the text according to frequency match with your keyword summary?

Yes the top five words in the text according to frequency match with my keyword summary are the same.

Write down the five to ten keywords that you could use to summarize the rationale. #CTE 319

To what extent might computers and the internet enhance data-driven learning?

Today’s world technology takes place in every part of our life.First off all this is valid for education too that by internet usage teachers can follow up to date activities and they can use more authentic materials by doing so,because they know the recent news they get more intergrated with the students and their knowledge on agenda.Also computers can be used to direct much creative activities that the students can easily do.

Is data-driven learning more suited to individual or group work?

It can be both but group work is more correct category to put it.The teacher can give a duty which consisted of parts and the students put together each purt to accomplish their goals or duties that they both work coordinately and they can share their own knowledge to accomplish their goals.

How easily can you follow the data-driven learning principles in a f2f classroom?

Actually it is not so easy to follow these principles in a common school in turkey because it is a kind of opposite of traditional learnin which is teacher based because the classes are too crowded in such schools and you can not reach every of 50 students in an hour class.But when we consider other schools we it is useful to use data driven learning that will be helpful for the second language acquisition.
