Data-Driven Learning

Task I

From Palmer's view of point  language can be learnt through discoveries. People like to discover things and language is a good unknown treasure to be done so. This method makes people hypothesize, experiment and observe the language. 
I am not sure, but it can easily be followed in f2f classes because it is kind of constructivits approach that shows way how to develop your learning skills. Moreover, it is certainly more suited to individual work because of the aura of computer technologies. Finally I think of new softwares to use this learning method. Due to as long as computers develop, new software can be designed to help DDL and we can access a lot new sources by the help of the internet. 




Task II
The words "language", "learning", "materials", "knowledge" and "teaching" match with my frequency word list.  How it can be good can answered by saying it gives important clues what's going on the text the reader is reading. It can help to develop learner's word treasure. 


Task III

While "wordle" shows most important words in a text, "concordle" goes far beyond "wordle's" abilities because "concordle" works a cyber dictionary. It builds sentence structure, shows collocations and synonyms. I think "concordle" seems better than "wordle" when I compare them.
