The
articles of this week caught my attention because show us how the technology
can help to increase the vocabulary and reading comprehension of the students
outside the classroom. Besides, technology can provides teachers a lot of tools
to improve them their reading and comprehension and increase their vocabulary
boost too. Students has many opportunities to practice their reading
comprehension online because on the Internet they can find many articles to read
and topics that catch their attention that is something good for them.
Moreover, students should find any meaning of words on the Internet because
they can download or use an online dictionaries.
Something that I learned from the article Online English-English Learner was that on dictionaries as Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English (LDCE) www.ldoceonline.com students might notice that this dictionary include corpus – based that describe how languages is actually used, word frequency that mean if the word is high frequency or low frequency used, collocations is the combinations word that normally go together, authentic examples that illustrate the use of words in context, and finally topical vocabulary that means how the words relate semantically to different categories.
On the other hand, the article Using Technology to Assist in Vocabulary mentioned that the better students’ vocabulary knowledge is, the better they perform with reading comprehension tasks because if students read using appropriate skills their vocabulary increase.
To conclude, that article help me to comprehend how important it is to look for the meaning of words that we do not understand when we are reading a book or an article because only in that way can we understand what we read.

I agree when you said that technology plays a role very important because it help to increse vocabulary using online dictionary; actually, students have the opportunity of using internet easily in house's computer or cellphone. Also, teachers need to ask to their students that they use some online dictionaries such as: cambridge, oxford, longman, or macmillan that they offer 5 features where students can discover content on real world, definitions, examples, high frequency about spoken or written words, help to identify where you can collocate words in sentences and topical groups "linguistics". Teachers need to know that online dictionaries would be very useful for English learner, for example it is innovating to creates corpus linguistics consistent second language vocabulary.
