Speaker: Dongkwang Shin
In this presentation, Dr. Dongkwang Shin will introduce two topics to the audience. The first topic is collocations. In particular, the speech will include what collocations are, how collocations can be extracted from a corpus, and how collocations can be taught.
The second topic is about making one's own graded word lists. Especially for teachers, the presentation will introduce a method for making word lists, and how to add them to the RANGE program in order to better analyze students' writing drafts.
