5th posting: concordence.

As we all know concordence is an agreement of words which derives from the word concord which means agreement. In other definition concordence from the marriam webster dictionary.com is an alphabetical index of the words in the book or the works of an author whith their immidiate contex. http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/concordance While in http://www.everythingbio.com/glos/definition.php?word=concordance concordance define as The amount of similarity in phenotype between a set of individuals. May be used to refer to the presence of the same trait in both members of a pair of twins.

A concordancer is a computer program which is used to find the occurrences of every single word or phrase in a text. A concordance is the nucleus of corpus linguistics because it reveals many facts about the language and its patterns show how a language system works when it is analyzed. A corpus is defined as a collection of naturally-occurring language text, chosen to characterize a state or variety of a language.

What is it used for?
*Creating indexes and word list
*Analyzing word frequencies
*Comparing different usages of the same word
*Analyzing keywords
*Find phrase and idioms
*Publish to web

Concordancing with Language Learners: Why? When? What?
Vance Stevens, Courseware Publishing International
Published in CAELL Journal, vol 6 #2, Summer 1995 pp. 2-10


Why does Johns (1988) use concordancing in language learning? First, it interjects authenticity (of text, purpose, and activity) into the learning process. Second, learners assume control of that process. And third, the predominant metaphor for learning becomes the research metaphor, as embodied in the concept of data-driven learning (DDL), which builds learners' competence by giving them access to the facts of linguistic performance.

To paraphrase Stevens (1993), language teachers fall into three groups: those who have never heard of concordances, those who haven't yet taken them seriously, and those who swear by them. Many teachers in the latter group feel that concordancers are the type of software that most closely approaches fulfilling the potential of computers in language learning. In a sense, they are working approximations of expert systems. They bring cognitive and analytic skills in students to bear on the manipulation of comprehensive databases for the purpose of solving real-language problems.


This is an article which had been taken from my previous drammar performance. Enjoy!^^

HOTEL CALIFORNIA


ACT 1

SCENE 1

SETTING: AT THE RESTAURANT

Hazman :URGGHH…~ (with the sound of irritated. he look at her).WHY IS THIS
HAPPENING TO ME! HELP ME JESS…! HELP ME! PLEASE!!!!DO
SOMETHING! ARGGGHHHH…..! (Continued his irritating impression)

Jessica :huh???(With confusion) What’s up with you, Haz? Don’t tell me that you
still have to work during this semester break?

Hazman :don’t you feel what I’m feeling. Don’t you see!!!!!(He lifts both of his
arms as if he wanted to strangle something or someone)

Jessica :err… Why don’t you ask your boss for a holiday…Err…I mean a long
holiday..?(With a guilty feeling)

Hazman :What! Holiday? Don’t be silly, Jess. You are not helping me.

Jessica :Why not? Since we haven’t done anything together, I think this is the
right time...well…

Hazman :so what do you want to do? (He sat next to her)

Jessica :(expression change into excited) A road trip..!(She jolted up) hmm~ a
road trip to Timbuktu...hehehe… (Gave a big smile and giggled)

Hazman :yea…yeah…Timbuktu as if we are gonna teleport ourselves there.

Jessica :come on Haz… I was just joking. Why not a car ride journey? A long
journey with only the both of us…. (Hazman interrupted)

Hazman :Come on get to the point. Don’t exaggerate, Jess.

Jessica :Fine. (She folded her arms for a few seconds an she put it back the way it
was)So..? What are we waiting for? Just hop into the car and go. Heee….
(She gave a big smile to Hazman).

Hazman :( He shook his head and took a deep breath. Then he continued) But you
haven’t given me time for consideration. Well~ you should know my boss right..?

Jessica :Whatever! (While rolling her eyes)

Hazman :Ok .I’ll call you tonight. (He smiled)

Jessica :ok! (She smiled back)


SCENE 2

SETTING: ALONG THE JOURNEY

After a few hours of driving, at a deserted highway where no one has ever steped foot on, not a single living soul was found. Darkness rules the place and creeps found its own meaning here.

Hazman :hey, Jess! Wake up.

Jessica :YAWNNN!!!!Ya. Why?

Hazman :don’t you feel weird?

Jessica :nope but my tummy is grumbling. Hey, is there anything to eat? I’m
Hungry!

Hazman :haih! Be patient, Jess. There is nothing here not a single town can be
Seen.

Jessica :are we there yet?

Hazman :nope.

Jessica :I’m feeling rather chilly.

Hazman :yeah me too. Oh, no! The gas is out.

Jessica :WHAT!

Hazman :we are out of gas! (Irritated)

Jessica :if I’m not mistaken there is a gas station, just around the conner.


SCENE 3

SETTING: AT THE PETROL STATION

The petrol station was located in front of a small town. As they arrived there is no one except the chaser and a mysterious looking guy in all black suits, with a dark hat. Standing alone at the side of the benches .as he observe the scene, hazman saw a notice board that is located at the side of the man. He went towards it. As he walked towards the man leaving Jessica back at the pump as he looked at it inquisitively. ‘Welcome to the hotel of California! It’s a lovely place! It’s a lovely face!’ stated a piece of paper that was written in red ink.

Man :don’t go there.

Hazman :huh???

Man :you can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave!

Hazman :How come?

Man :it’s their way, it’s their style. When the eye meets the end. (He walks
away)

By then Hazman felt as if the creeps were crawling under his skin. His bones were as cold as no one could imagine but he acted as if nothing happened. He walked towards the car and continued his long journey. Till the moon took over the sky, shining with pride by ruling the earth in the darkness. Suddenly, a loud explosion is heard. As Hazman control the car that was unstable. The car swirled from left to right.

Jessica :(screaming) Do something Hazman. Oh god almighty please help us!
Please god, please I’m begging you!

Hazman :Jess when I count to three we jump!

Jessica :(nodded without saying a word)

Hazman :One…two…THREE JUMP!

Both of them jump out of the car leaving the car behind without a driver.

Jessica :Oh, Haz! How can this happen to us!

Hazman :don’t worry Jess, we will continue our journey once we get another
vehicle.

Jessica :( in a sad emotion) but…but…my things? Our trip? Your car? And where
are we going to spend our night? Don’t tell me that we’re going to sleep
outside in this dark and cold place. It’s creepy!

Hazman :I’m afraid we have to, if we cant find a place to stay.


ACT2.



SCENE 1

Jessica : Hey, Haz! Can u smell something?

Hazman : Yeah! Smells like colitas.

Jessica : And look at those shimmering lights. Where are they coming from?

Hazman : Well~ the only way to find out is by checking it.

Jessica : Come let’s check it out! Hey! That’s a hotel if I'm not mistaken. Come
on lets spend the night there.

Hazman :Err…but. But…

Jessica : No buts. It’s either here or there and I choose there .I’m not going to sleep out here on the wet, muddy grass. At least they have beds and
Pillows there. (She pulled hazman’s hand and dragged him with her luggage into the main entrance)

Receptionist : Welcome to Hotel California. May I help you? (While smiling at the both
of them)

Jessica : Oh yes! We would like to check in here.

Receptionist : Ok, holds on for a while I’ll get you the keys.

Hazman : Jess… I don’t think it’s a good idea.

Jessica : How come?

Hazman : Its rather dull in here…something doesn’t seem right to me.

Jessica : Why do you say so?

Hazman : This could be heaven and this could be hell.


Jessica : For once try to be positive.

Hazman : But. But… (He saw the receptionist before he manage to finish up his sentence)

Receptionist : My lady, this way please. (He lifts the candle and showed the way)


As they followed him, passing by each and every corridor voices hollowed all the way. Step by step they walk. Each and every step they take evanescent. The only lights there was were candles.
(The hole scene is only been lighten with candles).

Receptionist :( he stops) my lady this is your room and sir, this room is yours and
Here are your keys (while showing two different rooms that was located
next to each other)

Hazman : Yo, Jess wassup!

Jessica : I’m hungry here…my tummy is grumbling and I could even swallow a
Horse!

Hazman : Me too… I want a plate of pasta…

Jessica : How about a roast turkey??

Hazman : Good idea but I still want a plate of pasta…I’M CRAVING FOR IT!
(A weird squeaking sound was heard coming from their room’s door)

Jessica : Wait a minute Haz…do you hear something?

Hazman : Huh???

Jessica : There is a weird squeaking sound coming from outside.


Hazman : Outside where? Do mean the door? Yea there is. What’s that?

Jessica : Err... I don’t know... how should I know! (In a shivering tone of voice).


Both of them put the phone down immediately after they open their room’s door
Looking at each other with a weird expression…they face to the side where the squeaking sound came from.

Waiter :( stops in the middle of their room and he shows them their food but they
didn’t move from their place)…. Sir this is your food….my lady,

Both of them were shocked but they didn’t bother about it.

Hazman : Ok...ok. Wait a minute come lets sit at the bar. I don’t think I'm feeling well.

Jessica : Well~ as you wish! (She went to the dance floor)

Hazman sat next to the two dunked man.

Waitress : This is a cup of champagne.

Hazman : But I didn’t order anything yet. Can you please bring me my wine?

Waitress : We haven’t had her spirit here since 1969

Hazman :( he keeps quiet with an uneasy feeling. then he saw a girl dancing with
some kind of dance with her friends. Then he turns to one of the drunk
man that were sitting next to him) err. Sir…what kind of dance is that?

Drunken man1: If I’m not mistaken that is Sweet Summer Sweat…

Drunken man2: Oooo….interesting…

Hazman : Huh??? What kind of dance is that? I’ve never heard about it.

Drunken man2: Because some dances are to be remembered, some dances are to forget.




(Hazman’s face turns pale.)

Hazman : Err. Err...Its getting late. I better get going.

Drunken man1: chill…dude! You haven’t finish up your glass of champagne.

Hazman : Owh! Why not you have it?

Drunken man2: Its not fair that he gets it!

Hazman : Waitress!

Waitress : Yes sir, may I help you?

Hazman : Can you hand me the bill please? And can I have an empty glass?

Waitress : This is your glass, sir and there is no bill here.

Hazman :( while pouring half of the champagne into another glass and pass it to
Both of the drunken man.) How come?

Waitress : Bills will be paid later.

Drunken man2 :( he added) yes, and everything shall be free forever!

Drunken man1: yup! I agree with him…come on man. One for the road!

Drunken man2: another one for the road!

Hazman left both of them and hurried towards the dance floor and pulled Jessica out of it.

Jessica : Hey! I’m not done yet!

Hazman : Come on! Let’s go Jess! Whether you like it or not you are coming with

ACT 3



SCENE1.

SETTING: THE PATH TO THE MASTER CHAMBERS

While walking out from the masters chambers, warm smell of colitas rising up through the air. Up ahead in the distance they saw a shimmering light coming out from the end of the passage way. They went toward the lights. As they reach at the scene they saw a door where the smell of colitas came from. Hazman slowly open the door to take a look.
Without any further details, Hazman slowly pushed the door and they entered the chamber. They sneaked from a site to another to get a better view on the possession. Observing carefully, so they won’t get caught. Mirrors on the ceiling and pink champagne on ice were seen. As they walked into the chambers, soft hollow voices were heard. Some were saying” welcome to the hotel of California! Such a lovely place (such a lovely place) such a lovely face!” And in the chambers there are more doors. And each door has its own hollow. Jessica reaches one of the doors.

(The noise of the door)

Jessica :( screamed her head off, there was blood all everywhere)

Hazman :( he grab Jessica out of it.)

Jessica :( gasping for air) what was that!

Hazman :( he remain silent)

Then they continued walking. After passing 20 doors Hazman took the next one. And this time someone screaming was heard. Therefore, they ran for their life trying each and every door there is. And each and every one of them gave a different horror. Some was filled with dead crop while others with trapped soul. The rest were beyond explanation.
Both of them were pale. And at the end of the path, the smell of colitas filled the air. It was so strong that the both of them were forced to cover their nose. A door which is different form the others end the pathway. It was the only thing there is.

Hazman : I’m going to open this last door since it is the end.

Jessica : Well I have objections.

Hazman : Before anything happen can you promise that we will stick together
forever.

Jessica : Yes.

Hazman : Are you for real or are you just saying that half heartedly?

Jessica : If it’s not for real I would have left you a long time ago.

Hazman : One…two. Three… (Discretely he pushes the door)


SCENE 2

SETTING: THE MASTERS CHAMBERS

As they entering, the door they opeans discreetly without making any sound.

Girl : HELP ME! SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME! (She screams)

Beast and : (mumbling something)
followers
Girl : NO! PLEASE…NO!!!IM BEGGING YOU NO!!!!

Beast : At the stroke of midnight you will see the end of your life.

Girl : NO!!!! PLEASE NO!!!

Followers : FEAST! FEAST! FEAST! SACRIFIES! (They stab her)

Jessica : (accidentally scream)

Beast : SEIZED THEM! (A group of his followers slowly chase them while
He mumbles something)

Beast : AND I WANT THEM ALIVE!


SCENE 3

SETTING: MAIN ENTRANCE.

They have to find their way back to the place they were before.

Receptionist : Relax. We are programmed to receive.

(They look at him with horror)

Receptionist : You can check in any time you like. But you may never leave.

Jessica drops her bags and Hazman freezes. A group surrounded them.
Suddenly, Hazman woke up as he heard someone calling his name.

Jessica : Haz, wake up!

Hazman : Huh?? YAWN!!!! What’s the occasion?

Jessica : Don’t you tell me that you have already forgotten about it?

Hazman : I guess so…

Jessica : Argh…you promised me to go for a car ride journey!


Hazman : WHAT! CAR RIDE JOURNEY!

Jessica : Well the both of us together driving to a place that we don’t know...

(Hazman froze. He was so shocked as he has to go to a journey that he had just dreamt of.)

4th posting: Online Databased.

For this week posting its about the online databased learning. Where we were ask to go to PTSL which is Perpustakaan Tun Sri Lanang during tutorial hour. There we were ask to access the various types of online databases which had been subscribed by our own library. For an example EBCOhost, LISAnet, Lexis Nexis, SCOPUS, Oxford Journal, NSTP media and many more. Databases being set up is to ease up students and also researchers work on searching for more information other than hitting the unwanted web-page. By doing this students get information faster than going to the journal rack.

EBSCOhost
EBSCOhost was started as a homepage before it turned into an on-line journal database. EBSCOhost is the most-used premium online information resources for ten of ten thousand instituition world wide which represents million users. Besides that, it also provides subscription management.books,online journals,A-Z solutions and many more which is related to education. EBSCOhost is more complex then LISAnet and it has alot of buttons which can help the users on finding their data easily.

LISAnet
LISAnet or also known as Library Science Abstracts which provides references of current awareness in science informations. 'LISAnet has abstract and index of 500 periodicals (dating from 1969) from over 60 countries along with unpublished academic and institutional research from the Current Research in Library and Information Science Database (since 1981)' which was according to University of Pittsburgh's Digital Library.

There are for topics which had been given to us in order to finish up this task. And among those for topics I'm going to discuss on e-learning. Besides that, I'll discuss this topic in two different databased learning which is EBSCOhost and LISAnet.

Many people aren't aware about e-learning eventhough e-learning has become a corpus of knowledge which can be easily access by all ages and its being us widely particularly in the higher education institutions. According toBrockbank "E-Learning, as a whole, represents a wide range of organizational activities and technologies, including distance education, computer-based training, web-based training, Internet-based training, courseware delivery, and online learning and testing. ELearning represents the total integration of multimedia, instructor-led, and real-time training in a human, collaborative environment". E-Learning has become such an integral part of our society that potential markets have emerged in elementary and secondary education environments as well as in postsecondary institutions and corporations.The Council for Higher Education Accreditation (2007) has noted that e-learning is distancelearning can be characterized as an environment in which: Instructors and students are physically separated.A combination of different types of media may be utilized. Instructors are not the only source for learning (i.e. students can learn from one another's experiences). Interaction can occur between teacher and student, student and student, and groups of students.
The interaction received through eLearning and distance learning provides users with many benefits that are not offered in a traditional classroom setting. By participating in distance learning, students are able to complete their curricula at their own desired speed. The learning process remains comfortable with eLearning because students can advance to different subject matter when they see fit and can avoid any pace pressures that may come with classroom learning. In customary education settings, students must continue learning at the same pace as their peers. However, this system can intellectually hinder the students because those who advance quickly through a topic must stay at the same pace with those who may need to spend additional time with the same topic. Distance learning avoids this conflict and focuses instead on the needs of the individual student.

3rd posting:Search engine

3rd posting:Search engine


In this topic it will be discuss about the term of search engine and the differences of the three main search engine that i have chose for this discussion. But before that i would apologize to my lecture cause i have yet not succeed in adding videos and music in the blog but don't worry Dr.Datin. I'm not giving up yet. And to all readers. Just hope you will enjoy this blog either educational or pleasure wise. So here goes nothing...

Have you ever wondered what does search engine actually? Or you just use it blindly without knowing what it is all about because the only thing you know that search engine is only a web-page that helps you to search things that you want on the website. If according to the dictionary.com "Search engine can define as a software program that searches a database, gathers and reports information that contains or is related to specified terms." . While if you look through the Cambridge dictionary stated that a search engine is 'a computer program which finds information on the Internet by looking for words which you have typed in'.Well~now we know the real definition of search engine. Now there are many of them. For an example google.com,mama.com, eric digest.com,Web crawler, Dogpile,yahoo,msn and many more. There are so many of them. Some you have heard and even used them but some makes you want to try them out. Technically they are the same but there are differences between all of them. Some are complex yet some are not. Lets discuss the differences between mama.com, eric digest and yahoo.com.

Mama.com

Mama.com is a "smart" metasearch engine which could search a variety of engines, directories, and deep content sites, properly formats the words and syntax for each, compiles their results in a virtual database, eliminates duplicates, and displays them in a uniform manner according to relevance.By looking from the appearance it is very simple and easy to understand yet its minimize the scope of our search which saves our time.Its being use for especially for educational wise and also looking for information. It direct us strait away to web-sites that is related to our need. Therefore it is one of the smartest metasearch.Besides that,Mama.com was created in 1996 as the master thesis provider and its operated by Copernic Inc.

Eric Digest

Eric Digest provides one way to access educational articles. It contains short reports (1,000 - 1,500 words) on topics of current interest in education. There are many topic which can be found here in eric digest such ad teaching,learning skills, higher education and many more.Looking by the appearance to me it is too complex yet dull then the other search engine. However it is very useful for educational wise purposes. Lastly, it had being produced by the former ERIC Clearinghouse system.


Yahoo.Com

Yahoo.Com is one of the famous internet portal there is. It incorporates as a search engine and directly link to the www. which is the World Wide Web.It has various of sites and directory and its used not only for information yet leisure too.It is one of the easiest search engine. It contains hundreds maybe thousand or more websites and millions of pages. Furthermore, it also contain news, weather forcast and interesting topics infront of it. It also hyperlink to your email addresses and many more if you sign in. Yahoo was founded by Jerry Yang and David Filo in January 1994 and was incorporated on March 1, 1995.

RE-Posting on snoring.

RE-Posting for the 1st posting on snoring.


Have anyone wonder how snoring occur to certain people or even how does snoring occur? First of all snoring actually cause by parts of the nose and throat' to be more specific the soft palate vibrates as you breathe in and out. While sleeping, the muscles that help keep your airways open relax and become floppy. This causes the airways to narrow and vibrate more, making snoring more likely.

Other than the natural causes there are also other factors which could lead to a person to snore. for an example:

* Alcohol or sleeping tablets which relax the muscles even more
* Being overweight will put pressure on the airways
* Colds, allergies, nasal polyps, a damaged or crooked nose can block the nose, causing you to breathe through your mouth
* Smoking. Usually smokers are twice as likely as non-smokers to snore because their airways get inflamed and blocked
* Sleeping on your back

Studies has shown that snoring effects mans more than women. Of course that the effects of snoring could lead to complains, unsatisfied, lack of sleep or worst still divorce. Therefore, although snoring seems a natural effects on man-kind but the affects can be crucially devastating.

The article above falls under the category of Reading for Information.

From the article above we can see that eventhough snoring is a comon thing in our daily lifes but there are bad effects towards a marriege coulpe. People do take it seriously in life and nowdays there are certain medication that can be found in the pharmaceutical in order to prevent one from it. However, the best way to prevent bad consiquences of snoring is to prevent bad habbits. If not for those who are the unlucky ones. Please do not bother. Just ignore it.

2nd Posting:Blogs and education.


Blogs are a common web-journal nowdays. It is not only being used for personal purposes yet also business and also political wise. In blogs we can share information,ideas and also the latest news around the glob. There is nothing impossible nowdays. Almost everything can be easily accessed freely anywhere and everwhere we are. As long as we have a computer and internet access. Normally blogs are being used as a personal thing towards individual yet it all dependent on the individual themselves. As we can see how blogs are being used widely but does it ever occur that blogs plays an important role in this high-tech society? And how does blogs enhance and improve language learners?
First of all, the answer to the first question is yes blogs do plays an important role in this high-tech society by giving individual the opportunity to write their thoughts and opinions either formally or informally. By,doing this individuals can enhance and improve their language especially language learners. The quote which says" Practice makes perfect" do apply in writing blogs or also known as blogging. The more we write the better it will be and the more information we put the better we will become on developing fresh new ideas. Moreover, it does not take space and environmental friendly because it does not acquire pen and paper. Not only that it also save time and money. Futhermore, it can also add pictures, videos and audios too. This makes it more interesting and users can be more creative from time to time. This will make the writer motivated to write more often.
