Reflection #9 - Concordancer

Suggest The Relevance of Concordance in The Course of Your Studies?

In the midst of advance technology, education field also wanted not to fall behind. Since the invention of concordance, it manage to assist many scholars and students to do their research and assessments given by lecturers.

In English Language and Literature field, concordancer do help a lot especially when students need to find sources regarding topic in their studies. It also gives students various kind of sources to choose regarding the topic.

As example, in American Literature, we need to find certain issues regarding feminism in ‘Scarlet Letter’. By using concordancer, all articles regarding feminism in ‘Scarlet Letter’ can be traced.



Suggest a Good Dictionary That You Always Refer and Why Do You Like It?


Since learning English Language in Elementary school, I always used Oxford Dictionary, and my English teachers would also recommend the same dictionary. I, personally, also prefer to use the dictionary, since it is easy to navigate the words that need to be defined and understand the use per context.

Other than that, our education system also adopted UK Standard English in syllabus at school. Due to this situation, Oxford Dictionary also prepared voice pronunciation to guide the beginner and intermediate learners to learn the right and pronunciation of the word.

Lastly, Oxford Dictionary has been very useful to me while learning English Language at school, and university.
