Corpus and Collocation Retrieval System
1. NTNU Web-based Collocation Retrival System
A monolingual collocation retrival system developed by Dr. Howard Chen at NTNU.
2. Tango Verb-Noun Collocation
Deveoped by Dr. 劉顯親 from 清華大學 . TANGO is a concordancer capable of answering users’ queries on collocation use. Currently, TANGO supports two text collections: a monolingual corpus (BNC) and a bilingual corpus (SPC). Moreover, TANGO will show the collocation types and instances with collocations and translation counterparts highlighted.
3. Computer mediated communication
Computer-Mediated Communication (CMC) is defined broadly as any form of human interaction across two or more networked computers. While the term has traditonally referred to those communications that occur via computer-mediated formats it has also been applied to other forms of text-based interaction such as text messaging. Research on CMC focuses largely on the social effects of different computer-supported communication technologies. Many recent studies involve Internet-based social networking supported by social software.

How to use Google anyway?
Google is a very popular searching engine nowadays, however, most of people like me still don't know how to use this powerful searching engine thoroughly. After receiving the following three pieces of helpful information from my CALL instructor, I start to know more about Google. It's power is far from my imagination.

My epal, Jack Stone
To begin with, I would like to make a brief introduction of my wonderful e-pal, Jack Stone, a 49 years old English gentleman, and will be fifty on June nineteenth. He has charming personality --wise, sensitive, quiet and shy. He is still single, never married and have no children. Unfortunately, he is suffered from heart condition and has to keep going to the doctors and the hospital for checkups and blood tests.
He works for himself at home by selling collectables on Ebay, such as stamps, coins, medals, sport programs. On the other hand, he also works for a couple of companies by selling their self-help books for them.
Recently Jack lives in the River Thames estuary. It is the largest town in the county of Essex and is known as a seaside resort. It is also famous for having the largest pier in the world. Jack has lived here for the last four years, before then he lived in another seaside resort Clacton on Sea which is on the east coast, then in Barking in east London which is where he was born and brought up.
Jack’s interests and past-times are walking, reading and tracing his family`s roots. Like me, he is also a dog lover, too. He once told me that walking the dogs over his past years has made him gaining a great love of walking; moreover, there is nothing more relaxing than walking on the beach or in the countryside.
We share many things, from the personal viewpoint of live and death to the history of our families. Even though Jack and I have discussed various topics and exchanged abundant e-mails, unfortunately, I did not find out any obvious difference between us in linguistic field. However, when examining my e-mail interaction with Jack, I think I have many culture gains.

Three websites I used most in my translation class
Following are useful website I usually use when I'm doing my academic research:
1. Wikisource
It is a Wikimedia project to build a free, wiki library of source texts, along with translations into any language and other supporting materials. It is also an online library of free content publications collected and maintained by the community. My personal experience of using this website is very good. It is user-friendly, and it is easy for user to find the information they need; moreover, it is amazing for a website to contain so much information and resources.
2. Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary
Merriam-Webster has the resource for you! It is a free reference containing over 20,000 images alongside 6,000 full color illustrations. Furthermore, it is a free online dictionary, thesaurus, spanish-english and medical dictionaries, audio pronunciations, Word of the Day, word games, and many more high-quality sources.
3. TED (ideas worth spreading)
TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design. It is an invitation-only event where the world's leading thinkers and doers gather to find inspiration. It specially invites experts from various fields to deliberate about 18 minute speech. Approximately 50 minor speeches can be deliberated per year. This official website has not finished until this April. I personally think that TED is very inspiring and has many advantage points. The best of it is you can hear as many speeches as you like in this website. If you think your life is too boring to live, good idea is too hard to find, TED is a wonderful place for you to find inspirations.
