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 would use the words suh as " moblie, technology, affect, university, academy, students, culture, research, educate, grow and etc .  These words were used in the artcle that I have chosen for pre-intermediate class to teach.  The reason why I chose these specific words in the text is I believe that they will help my students a lot to understand the text without starting reading it.   These word will give shape in their minds a frame regarding with the article.  http://edition.cnn.com/2012/10/04/business/mobilology-mobile-university-revolution/index.html?iid=article_sidebar  http://edition.cnn.com/2012/10/04/business/mobilology-mobile-university-revolution/index.html?iid=article_sidebar

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.
