Text Analysis

I think readability is how much it is easy to understand a particular text. I mean to what extent this text includes frequently used words. I want to learn;
How can I make a text more readable with the help of using the computer to determine readability?
Now I have completed the activities about text analysis and I think for reading these tols are really good for teachers.
 Vocabulary profiling is the tool that gives us our text's lexical frequency profile. We can easily determine which words are more frequent in the text we are going to give the students. We can realize whether to teach or not some of the words in advance. Also, we can determine which words to focus on more.
I also liked the concordances tool very much. With the help of it, we can see how our frequent words in the text are used in other contexts. It is useful because we can teach the word in other contexts and students can have a broader concept of words we are working on.
I do not see any problems related to twxt analysis except for 'time'. Teachers have to have lots of time before coming to class with a ' well-determined-prepared text'. And, usually they have their printed text which they extract from an old book.
To sum up, I want to give answer to my question above :)
1.Get a text
2.Look at its readability statistics.If it seems that it is suitable for your students, go on.
3.Look at its vocabulary profile.
4.Design pre-reading activities on less-frequent words if necessary.
5. Look at the text's concordances.
6.Design activities to make students aware of keywords' usage in other contexts.
     Then, I think you can have a good text to give your students.
     If you think I missed some parts let me know :)

I remember when we were working on 'Young Learners' we learnt that they were encouraged when they produce something (booklets,story books etc.) at the end of the lesson. I think this tool is very good for children. I would want my students to make a book as a group. It would be for example at the end of the term. I would tell them that this is a project based lesson and they will produce an online-book. In order to do that, they will search for pictures and related information and by doing so, day by day they will become more interested in the given topic. They will learn something, hopefully.

Actually, I would not use this tool so much with my students because I think it is time-consuming. They may be more interested in the pictures and this may become a problem when they go away from the lesson point. I would introduce them bookr, but not let them use so much in the class.
