Concordances had several it function.Concordances programme turn the electronic texts into the database which can search.Usually the words queries are always possible but most of the programme also offer the possibility of searching for word combinations within a specific range of words and looking up parts of words.
Concordancers search what is called the corpus(the plural is corpora),which is basically a database of language.There ara many in exstince in both general and specialised,although no corpus can be regarded as complete.Bear in mind that the concordances are only good for searching database.

The summary for the article about the concordancer in ELT
(http://www.teachingenglish.org.uk./think/articles/concordancers-elt)
In this article about the concordancers in ELT(English Language Teaching)
It is talking about the concordancer which is a piece of the software,either installed on a computer or accesed through the website which cab be used to search ,acces or analyse language from corpus.The concordancers can helps us in several ways.
The concordancers can be usefull to the students to search the information such as exploring the collocations,looking their own errors,understanding the different uses or meaning,finding the genuine examples and the material creation.However the there are several problems that related to the concordances.Its information are high standards that too challeging for the lower students.it is alsoThere are, however, some corpora which are collected from more restricted sources and some that are even collected from non native / student use of language. An example of one such concordancer is at: http://www.edict.com.hk/concordance .Secondly,Some online concordancers such as http://www.spaceless.com will search only selected web pages, so you can limit the amount of input your students get.
Nogt all the concordancers are usefull to the student and the teachers and some it can be complex.It is also about the internet connection where not all the students had access to the internet during the class.In conclusion,the conccordancers can be usefull to the students as well as the teachers as it important resources that helps the student and teacher to enchance their knowledge.
My personal view on the concordancers is that it is usefull to the students and teachers as the concordancers is a list of words in piece of the text or a collection of texts.It is usefull for the lingusitic people where he/she can learn the langugaes as well as the grammars and the words.It is also benefits to the teachers in certain subject that related to the languages.It is because the teachers are able to enhance their knowledge by getting the information from the cocnordances and assisting them in the language subject such as English Language teaching.The students were able improve their language proffeciency as the concordancers are providing the new words or language whcih is usefull and effective wasys.In conlusion,we say that the concordancers are very usefull to the students and the teachers iself in English language teaching.

Title;How the blogging asssist the language learning to improve and enhance their writing skill.
The blog can improve the writing skill as well as the producing a good writer on the blog.
Wrriting the blog improve the writing skill.
Do you know that writing can be enhanced by writing journals or blogs.
The new age has given us a new way to write our journals. The internet has given us blogs.
I for one like blogging and it's my way to enhance or to improve my writing. It does not only expresses my thoughts but also improves my writing skills.
I advise english learners to try and practice your writing skills. If you're reluctant to post a blog entry, try it out with comments. Like posting comments on my blogs.
Scared that you might write it incorrectly, don't worry we're all learners. We learn by committing mistakes first. Leave a comment on my blogs, and I will correct them.
If you would want me to correct them -- please indicate it in your comment.
I want to make it clear that I am going to correct your comments on my blogs and not your blog entries. I don't have that much time to dwell on it. But if you would want me to be your online tutor, then that would be another story.
If you would want me to be your online tutor, just send me a message.
This source from the URL Website;www.englishbaby/lessons/4360/member_submitted/writing_blog_can_improve_writing_s
ng_skills.
it is show that the writing blog can improve the language learner skill.it is because the blog written by blogger give an advantage to him or her to acquire the writing skill and at the same time ,he or she able express their thought and views.
In second opinion also give an opinion about the enhance of the writing skill by the blog.
You already know that the main reason why I blog is to enhance my English communication skills because there’s no other way that I know to enhance it but in writing alone. It’s true that I finished my college with high grades in English, but I am actually really bad in speaking and writing in English.
I once applied as College Teacher in one of the universities in Quezon City, but I was not accepted, and learned that evaluators gave me a grade with a big remark: “Poor English Communication and with Provincial Accent”. That was the most embarassing experience that I have. But it encouraged me to find ways to enhance my communication skills (in English).
And so I started blogging (year 2003). I tried to write my thoughts and let the world read those things I wrote. I might not noticed my mistakes but at least some readers told me about it. I remember that few of the visitors commented on my grammar in my posts, “Boyzone Member A Gay” and “Pacquiao vs Larios Boxing Bout“. I am actually hoping that someone can comment on this blog again like that because I know criticizing me will lead me to learn something.
And now that I’m already on my one year blogging on this blog, I think, I get some improvements….
And yes, there’s a great improvement on my writing style, spelling and grammar compared to my old posts. I can actually write a post in just 15 minutes without writing it first in a blank paper as draft. But of course it’s not yet the end. There might be a little success in that but I still need to enhance it more and more. Maybe until everybody will recognize me as one of the great bloggers around the world.

The advantages and disadvantages of the blog.
August 23, 2004Blogs and blogging: advantages and disadvantagesBy Gerry McGovernIsn’t it interesting that some of the most significant ‘revolutions’ of the last twenty years have all had to do with writing? How retro is that? First we had email, then webpages, then mobile phone texting, and now blogs. All this reflects a trend whereby the world is becoming more formal in how it communicates. Instead of body language and endless conversations, communication has shifted towards endless words on a screen.Bloggers are people with attitude. They say there’s a book inside everybody. Well, the Web and blogs have let the book out! There has literally been an explosion of opinion. Traditionally, public relations was about honing a silvery message that communicated exactly what the organization wanted us to hear. Now, we can hear all sorts of voices on the subject. It’s true democracy at work.The advantages of blogs from an organizational perspective include the following:
The consumer and citizen are potentially better informed and this can only be good for the long-term health of our societies and economies.
Blogs have potential to help the organization develop stronger relationships and brand loyalty with its customers, as they interact with the ‘human face’ of the organization through blogs.
Blogs, in an intranet environment, can be an excellent way of sharing knowledge within the organization.
Blogs can be a positive way of getting feedback, and keeping your finger on the pulse, as readers react to certain pieces, suggest story ideas, etc.
Blogs can build the profile of the writer, showcasing the organization as having talent and expertise.
The disadvantages of blogs are:
Most people don’t have very much to say that’s interesting, and/or are unable to write down their ideas in a compelling and clear manner.
I have often found that the people who have most time to write have least to say, and the people who have most to say don’t have enough time to write it. Thus, the real expertise within the organization lays hidden, as you get drowned in trivia.
Like practically everything else on the Web, blogs are easy to start and hard to maintain. Writing coherently is one of the most difficult and time-consuming tasks for a human being to undertake. So, far from blogs being a cheap strategy, they are a very expensive one, in that they eat up time. As a result, many blogs are not updated, thus damaging rather than enhancing the reputation of the organization.
Organizations are not democracies. The Web makes many organizations look like disorganizations, with multiple tones and opinions. Contrary to what some might think, the average customer prefers it if the organization they are about to purchase from is at least somewhat coherent.
There’s money in words; real value, real worth. I’m not a blogger but I do have this newsletter and I can tell you that these 500 or so words that I publish every week have seen a major return on investment for me. As an individual, I would highly recommend that you have some sort of publishing strategy, whether it be a blog, newsletter, writing articles for magazines, website or whatever. This is an age where you will build your professional reputation word by word. Start off by finding something people care about and that you care about.
Gerry McGovern
This is show that the blog are usefull to the language learner as it help the language learner to improve and to enchance the writing skill which is very vital in our life.
Blog became useful as the language learner to express their thought and share their thought with other especially the blogger community without fear and favour.
it is also enhance the language profiency as well as the grammar itself.

READING FOR THE INFORMATION.
Workkeys,ACT:READING FOR THE INFORMATION TEST CHARACTERISTIC.
Reading for Information.
Business and employees face rising requirements for reading and math skills in today's workplaces. An American Management Association survey in 2000 of midsized and larger businesses found that 38% of job applicants taking employer-administered tests lacked the reading and math skills needed in the jobs for which they applied. Reading assessments need to focus on written materials that are used by employees in the workplace.
The WorkKeys Reading for Information test measures the skill people use when they read and use written text in order to do a job. The written texts include memos, letters, directions, signs, notices, bulletins, policies, and regulations. It is often the case that workplace communications are not necessarily well-written or targeted to the appropriate audience. Reading for Information materials do not include information that is presented graphically, such as in charts, forms, or blueprints.

Characteristics/Skills
Sample items—Level 3, Level 4, Level 5, Level 6, Level 7
Characteristics/Skills
There are five levels of difficulty. Level 3 is the least complex and Level 7 is the most complex. The levels build on each other, each incorporating the skills assessed at the preceding levels. For example, at Level 5, individuals need the skills from Levels 3, 4, and 5. The reading materials at Level 3 are short and direct. The material becomes longer, denser, and more difficult to use as readers move toward Level 7. The tasks also become more complex as readers move from Level 3 to Level 7. At Level 3, readers begin by finding very obvious details and following short instructions. At the more complex levels, tasks can also involve more application and interpretation.
