The differences that I found in when using word cloud or vocabulary profiling were that: word cloud helped me a lot to not waste time to read long articles; instead, it made me able to learn what is it about by just looking the more frequent words that were used in that text.  Word Cloud application in a way brough me the summary of the text that I was responsible to read.  When it comes to the Vocabulary Profiling it was more complex and equipted with its use.  For example, when I paste the article in the blanket  and then clik go, I was be able to get the most frequent words through the least frequent ones, but I was also be able to find a page in Vocabulary Profiling that omits the key words from the text and put them above and it allows you to find the synonyms of it by clicking the arrow beside the blankets.  I can gain advantage of it when I prepare any vocabulary activities for my class.

I think the native speakers are the ones that make the language in a full sense to live can score better results from such a test.  This is in my opinion because the fact that native speakers are born in that language so it will be more easy to figure out the words whether can be used frequently or not.  I think it depends on how much you are exposed to the use of the words.  Being native or non-native is not the representation of how much you are talented in guessing the most frequently used words.

"CTE319" and "wiki' / 'KWL' and 'wiki'.

I haven't heard about Wiki up today.  I want to learn to what extend can I can use this tool in my profession. I think using personal web site with  students helps teach English.  How?  In my opinion, as we do in our course, each web site has its own vocabulary peculiar to them.  For example, I learned many words that I haven't even known its meaning like "embed, concordances, vocabulary profiling, data driven learning, locating podcast, text-to speech and etc.." I think these words and word phrases are specific to these tools that raised my awareness on what do they mean and how I can implement them in my teaching.  What we can infer from these lines above, by unconsciously I learned new vocabulary, I expended my vocabulary repertoire.  Moreover, most of these tools require from us to comment on post of other people, get interact and send the message that we want to send through these tools so in that case good communicative skills are essential....
