-Review of COCA-

                                              -Review of COCA-

 I got to know another useful web-site and learned how to use it last week called COCA, corpus of contemporary American English. It is a web-site that contains more than 450 million words that are searchable. After searching words, you can see how the words are used in different genres such as magazines, books and poem etc. and check frequency information of the words. After using this site, I really liked that I could find out how frequent the words that I searched were used and in where they were used. In addition, I could use it for free. However, it was so complicated to use because I have to know the instruction in order to use it properly and the instruction is not provided in the web-site. Also, it looks very boring and busy to use, because it has tons of texts. Overall, I think I would only use it for educational purpose. It will be useful to use when I need to make a quiz or test. I can just use the sentences from the site. However, I don’t think it is easy for students to use. It will be somewhat challenged to use but it would be great if students know how to use it.
