“Concordances are especially useful for students and teachers who want to do word research. We can use them to design material. For example, we could print of a concordance but blank out the search word; students have to guess what the word is. We could ask students to predict the most common words that come before and after the search word and then get them to look at the concordance lines to see if they were right” J. Harmer (2007) P190

“Before computers, teachers, were keen for their students to correspond with pen pals in different countries. This was to give students both meaningful and memorable experience of using English, and also to help them to gain an appreciation of different cultures around the world. Pen pals have now morphed into mouse pals and key pals; students can send each other emails instead of letters, and where such contact is well supervised and actively promoted by the teacher, the benefits are soon evident” J. Harmer (2007) P193
