Vocabulary Profiling 5

Vocabulary profiler offers us three types of word lists which are tokens, families and types. I can easily access those lists without time consuming skimming activities. It provides lists of frequent and common words. Yes, it is absolutely possible for students to use such a tool. They will easily understand and learn common words. As shown in the video I can prepare word filling activities with their collocations. Moreover, I think that vocabulary profiler is better than wordle in this case because wordle shows most used words in a text but vocabulary profiler provides word types. Word cloud can be beneficial for skimming activities whereas vocabulary profiler can be best used for common word activities.
