DISCUSSION POINTS from http://cte319.pbworks.com/activity+-+intro+to+vocabulary+profiling

• How useful is it to learn what the computer things are ‘key words’ in a text?  Is the computer better at picking out key words than you?
• Is the use of a concordance useful in seeing words in context in a text?  How does this give you a different perspective on the words that you can’t get from just reading the text?  Give an example for the text you used.
  
• To what extent can a tool like Multi-conc help students discover the lexico-grammar of a word?   Would students need special training to use this tool effectively?  Give the link to a multi-conc you created for the text you used.
